My Deepest Condolences to your family. Alberta will be greatly missed not only by family but the many friends who enjoyed being around her. She always made me and many others laugh as she had such a great sense of humor and it is that, that i will always remember. She brought so many people together with her sense of humor and her passion for people to get along. She also had a heart of gold as she was also a warm and compassionate person. i can always close my eyes and see her enjoying herself with the rest of us at the Legion and with the Legion family at the Conventions. Her laugh was infectious.
Yes, she will be missed and was loved by so many. A lovely lady by every sense. Loved her and will miss her greatly.
