Condolences

Dear Sharon and family, Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother. One thing that I remember about your mom was her wonderful BUTTER TARTS. She would make these for Norm's mom when she was doing homemaking. I'm sure that his mom never tasted any of them as Norm goggled them down faster than she could make them. I know you will always cherish your memories of her.

we would like to pass on our condolences to the family and freinds of our aunt Elise.We have many good memories of the vists uncle Norman & aunt Elsie made to our farm in Fergus and the times we spent at their farm in Grand Valley.We fondy remember that she was never at a loss for words and always had a batch of cookies redy fgor the kids. The fact that we grieve the loss of a loved one shows us that death is not a normal part of life.Jesus made that clear at 1cor15:26 when he said that death was a enemy of man.However we are not left without hope because of the promise at John5:28&29 that all in the grave will be resurrected.What a wonderful hope we have to see these ones again. thinking of you at this time,Cam,Elma McMillan,Lois Verdonk and Jim McMillan
