Dear Bev and family,

We were saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. We send our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. We would have liked to attend the funeral but could not due to other commitments.

May the peace of God be with you all?

Dear Dennis, Bruce, Beverley, Linda and families,
Please accept our sincere sympathy, from the Emerson and Pearl Shantz family. Our connections go back to our years in Okotoks in the 1940's, and Dad and Mom greatly valued their ongoing friendship with Charlie and Alice. Dad just passed away this March at 98+, so we understand the transitions which come when we lose the last parent. Both our families have been blessed by having parents who were able to be an active part of our lives for so long, we miss that deeply, as will you. I'll miss Alice's phone calls to me in recent years and her consistently positive approach to life. She was a great lady who leaves many special memories for us all, and we are comforted that she is now at home in a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate her life and journey through your loss. Thank you Carleen, for calling to notify us.
Shirley, and for Carol & Eldon, Bryan & Hazel, Glenda, and Lois & Jack.

Dennis, Bruce, Bev and Linda
Your mom was such a good friend to the Maslen family. I send you my condolences. I have many fond memories of times spent with her including how she taught Elizabeth and me to embroider. She has had a big influence on my life and I am sure on many other lives. She will be missed. With fond memories

Dennis, Bruce, Bev, Linda;
My sympathy regards your Mother's passing.
It's about all that I hear regarding the "old school/old town" these days.
