Robert and Lorraine Scott - Regina, Sask.: Aunt Lillian was one of my favorite aunts. She always had time to talk with me and explain things to me despite all the work she had to do on the farm Many happy summers were spent with Irwin on my Aunt's and Uncle's Farm near the Valley.

Les Wright - Moose Jaw, SK.:  I was unable to attend the funeral, but my wife Frances did.  I did not know your Aunt real well, but I liked what I knew! We visited with her on occasion when she lived in town, and once while she was in Central Butte.  I was glad to have known her, she was a great ol' gal!  We will meet again, I'm sure!!
