So sorry we are unable attend the service on Saturday. Offering our sympathy to all families as you journey through this sad time.

I was very sad to hear of your mom's accident when I was out of country but happy to know your family got to visit with her before she died. She was a lovely caring and vibrant lady and neighbour to my parents, Hal & Fay, at Wintergreen. When I was in Regina visiting my mom at Christmas it was odd to not see Shirley at home. With my dad passing shortly before your mom, I know it must have been difficult for your family over the first holiday season without the person you all loved so dearly. I prayed that you found comfort in memories and also that your sadness fades over time knowing she is at peace with the Lord.

Leslie Ann, Donna, Norma and families...my condolences to you...I am very sure that you have GREAT memories...Now you will have your Mom and your Dad both down looking down on you with all their love.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mother Shirley's passing. She always had a nice smile and friendly greeting when I saw her. My thoughts are with you, her family and friends at this difficult time.
