Don, Dale, Brian and families: On behalf of myself, Carol, Larry and Carmen and families our sincere wishes of sympathy and prayers are extended on the passing of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I remember when we would come to Duval for a family wedding and arrive very early in the morning (we didn't leave Edmonton until Dad got home from work). We would go up the stairs on the side of the store and the door was open so that we could go to bed. I now think of the extra work of having beds ready for five people. The morning came and down the steep stairs into the kitchen for breakfast. Aunt Edith was a fantastic cook. In a very small kitchen she produced meals that were like they had been cooked by a "trained" chef. When Mom and I came to Regina for Ruth's funeral it was so nice to see Aunt Edith still in her own home and I couldn't believe it but Aunt Edith was still baking bread from scratch. Aunt Edith an amazing lady. Rest in eternal peace, Aunt Edith, with those you have preceded you to your heavenly home.
