Dale, Darlene and all your family

We were so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing.

To Aaron and Adam ....it was so nice to have had the opportunity to met your Gram during our visiting at the Magnolia.

I looked forward to having more oppotunities to get to know her better through our visiting; but it was not to be.

We want to extend our sincerest condolences to each of your family at this sad time.

May your great family memories bring you consolation as you must mourn the loss of your Mum and Grandmother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely ,
Christine and Wayne

Darlene, Dale, Gary and families:
So sorry for your loss. I remember your Mom as always smiling and friendly. She would always stop and chat whenever I ran into her (usually at the mall), even though I hadn't been around your home since high school. Thinking of you.
