my heartfelt condolences to the family of the cousin I knew only by name. I lived with or near our grandmother Millie Stafford in Brooks, Alberta for all my childhood and young adult years. My Uncle John, Joey and Dana May's dad, would make a visit every few years to visit his mom Millie and his sister Marion (my mom). He always spoke of Jorene with such love and respect. I discovered this obituary as I was doing some research for the family tree I am working on. Again my sincere condolences.
