Gordon and Sharon Anderson - Caron, SK: Neil and Irene: Our condolences.

Bernie & Vonnie Forbes - Victoria, BC: The passing of a loved one, particularly a mother, is a deep personal loss.  Expressing one's sympathy usually falls short of what can and should be said in that fleeting moment.  I have always failed this challenge.  Through generations our roots go back to Red School district.  Friendships between our families then and now are important.  Our thoughts are with you and your  family at this time.

Karen Myers (nee Brewin) - Medicine Hat, AB:  On behalf of the "Brewin" family, we send our condolences to each and everyone of your family. I, as well as my other family members, remember the wonderful friendship our parents both had.
