Darren, so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was one of the first friends that i had when we first moved to Sparwood. We taught majorettes together and she spent hours making many many majorette hats out of bleach bottles,, we did several different crafts, camped together, took turns at each others pools, after going for a walk, she babysat for me, and we did a lot of preparing different foods together. I sure missed her, when you moved to Calgary. May she rest in peace. And I am sure she collected her angel wings, and spent Christmas with Dawn,Vern and her parents inheaven. Take care Darren.
Elida was a beautiful person with the biggest heart imaginable. She always had time for people, and was always giving of herself. She will be sorely missed.
My sincerest condolences. From everything I've heard of Elisa, she was a strong, caring and generous woman. I'm so sorry for your loss...
It was many years ago now I've had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Elida and many of her beautiful family. Darren and Michelle. I send you all my thoughts and prayers. This still touches me very much. Elida was someone that anyone who has ever met her could never forget. My thoughts of her was that she was possitive, generous and kind. Mostly she was so inspiring. Darren , Michelle and all the family . My thoughts are with you. Love Debbie Holden.
