Hi Stephanie, this is Miss Wegner (now Jennifer Sawula and living with my husband in Stettler)
I wanted to let you know how very sorry I am to hear about your mom's passing. She was a lovely lady and I know how much she adored you and your sister. For a brief time I was lucky enough to have clean my house. I admired your mother for being the strong single mother that she was. I too raised my daughter by myself and I can relate to her fierce devotion. Love and hugs.
