Our deepest condolences. We were so thankful we had the opportunity to see your mother while in the hospital before we had to leave for Manitoba. For her it is at home with the Lord. We'll remember you in our pet.
I had a lovely brief chat with your Mom a few months back; a delightful lady who I'm sure will be greatly missed. Bless you and your family at this time, John. L. Bethel Sr.
My sympathies for your loss, hers is the gain! Joan Gustafson
I'm sorry to hear of your dear Mother's passing. I fondly remember her bringing beautiful gifts and thoughtful cards when my daughter, Jodi, was having chemo treatments in London hospital, years ago. She consistently prayed and showed a genuine interest in her salvation and in the years that followed, Eileen always asked about her. A common bond developed because my Jodi wore a prosthetic leg from the age of 13. I have never met a lady with such a gentle and kind spirit, so like the Lord Jesus. We will miss her and are so happy we will meet her in Heaven one day. Love to all. Virginia Jarvis
