Wayne - Timing is everything. I was so happy I had the chance to talk to you both recently and exchange some long overdue hugs. My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Don't be surprised to see a treat dropped off for you. To Wendy and Ken and Marilyn and Kenny, I am extremely sorry for the loss of your wonderful mom and mom-in-law. She sure was a sweetheart. To Brandon, Josh, Kylea, Zach and Kenzie, cherish every single moment you had with your gracious grandma. I know it will be hard to get through the coming weeks and months. She loved you guys so much and gave me a update on all your lives when I recently met up with her. You could see the pride in her eyes and her smile. Take care of each other. Trust me this is when family and friends are so very important. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. XO Love Carol

Wayne and family, to say we are in shock is a huge under statement. Margie was a truly amazing lady, who touched everyone who knew her, in a very special way. We are truly blessed to have had her and you guys as such an important part of our lives. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Crawford family, I was blessed to get to know your mom, and I will miss her and her sense of humour. She and Wayne were a great example of a couple deeply in love, but also how to be great friends with your partner. My heart breaks for all of you, Jodi

Uncle Wayne, Wendy & Marilyn, you are in my thoughts more than anything else today. Auntie Margie was one of my favourite people and I am saddened by the fact that she's not here. I did talk to her (& Uncle Wayne) just a few weeks ago I feel so fortunate for that. She had offered to move out to Calgary to be my kids' nanny! ;) And she would have been an amazing one.

Take care of yourselves in a time when it's easy for you forget about you, and know that you have many people out west, who are thinking about you.

Love, Hillary
