Dear Tim, Walter and Kathy, Sorry to hear of your mothers passing. We have fond memories of family get together's and visiting your mom and dad in their lovely brick home. There was also many times when they would come by Rona to visit Ian for coffee. With sympathy, Ian, Lyndell, Spencer & Justin Foltinek
Tim, Mary Anne, Kimberly and Geoff - our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. It's not an easy time for anyone I'm sure. That's a lovely picture of your mom Tim. Peace to you all - Shirley and John.
Kathy, Tim Walter and families: Our condolences on the passing of your Mother and grandmother. As you know, Fred & Christel (the name we knew her by) where good friends of my parents and often interacted with each other and when my Dad and Fred passed away, my Mom did stay in regular contact with your Mom. Occasionally when we passed by the house, we would make an unexpected stop and make a point of visiting with your Mom. We sent our annual Christmas letter to your Mom and I did speak with her both when Kathy & she lived in Palliser and when both moved back to Lakeview. Last summer, we stopped by our old home and visited with Litzel and had a good conversation about many things including your Mom. Thank you for having shared your Dad & Mom with our family. They are missed. Our sympathies to all Hans, Dell & Conrad Tiedemann
