Thinking of you Gertie and family.
Aunt Gert, I hope you know how much you and Uncle Lloyd mean to our family. Since we moved to Alberta you have been there for us; cheering the kids on at sporting events, cooking Christmas dinner and even changing leaky faucets with dad. I will always remember the 29 hand I got in the crib game and Uncle Lloyd signed the crib board so we had proof. The world has lost an amazing man but his light continues to shine in his children, grandchildren and all whose lives he touched.
Thinking of the family during this sad time. Such great memories of uncle Lloyd at the gun club over the years. Lots of memories made learning from the best on how to shoot trap.
Gertie and family. May the love of those around you ,help you all through the days ahead.Hold tight to memories for comfort. Florrie and Bert
