Vic, Alan and Michael Sending sincere condolences to you and your family. I read the news last week in the Edmonton Journal. I often wondered if you still lived in Edmonton, but had no way to contact you.The last time I saw you was in 2004 at Kevin's funeral, and that was just for a brief minute. I always enjoyed my visits with Yvonne. I remember Kevin and Michael together and the enjoyment their friendship brought to Kevin. Morris and I are enjoying our life together in Leduc. You can contact us using our email address if you wish.
Hello Victor and family, I have worked with Yvonne at Southland nursing home, I just want to extend my condolences to you and your family. Yvonne was a very caring person. She loves her family so much that during our visits,when she spoke about Alan,Michael and you Victor are always with endearment. I will always Yvonne as a compassionate and kind person. Sincerely, Levy
Dear Vic and Family, Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear wife and mother. We wish you God’s blessings as you go through this difficult time in your life. John and Hilda Weing
I've known Yvonne ever since I taught Alan in school. That was a long time ago. She was so caring and helpful and did many extra things as a parent to make things run more smoothly. I realize she had lots of health issues even then and I'm so sorry. I appreciate all the extra hours she gave me as a teacher and her kindness. I am sure she will indeed be in a better place. Love and condolences to Victor, Allan and Michael. Elizabeth Davies Olsen
Thank you for the happy memories. Thank you Ms. Olsen for teaching me to read in the third grade. Your comments is exactly needed to read. This time every year scince her passing it feels like a hole in my life i cant every fill. She was everything, the very definition of selfless caring. She did so much for so many i dont think she ever got the proper props for all the caring she gave others. She said one time it makes her feel good helping other especially us kids.
