Condolences
Paul, Dale,and Karen, I just became aware of your Mom's passing late last year. Not sure if you still get these messages. Your Mom was a wonderful person; one of the nicest I ever knew. I have many fond memories of hanging out with you, Paul, at your place and your Mom was always so welcoming. Also many fond memories of your Mom from St. John's. I wish you and your families peace in the midst of your loss. I know the loss of a mother remains with you very long (maybe forever) but hope the promise of being reunited one day gives you consolation.

Our sincere condolences to the Braun & Lytle families. Attending reunions at the farm of Allan and Anita in recent years has been a highlight. Anita was always a gracious and caring hostess. As well we are grateful for the many times that Allan and Anita reached out to help Bev move to his new residences in Hanover, and then visiting him regularly as his health declined.

May the love of family and friends soften your sadness and the many cherished and loving memories of your mom bring you comfort and peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Paul, Dale, Karen and your families, our sincerest sympathies to you upon the death of your dear Mom. I have wonderful memories of your mom and dad and your younger selves at your farmhouse and at St. John's. She was a lovely, gentle lady whose presence was always a blessing. Her faith in Jesus guided her through her marriage, raising a family and I'm quite confident in her death also. And because of that strong and certain faith she died in the hope of eternal life granted us by the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Christ. "We do not grieve as the rest of people who have no hope..." (St. Paul) We do grieve the loss of loved ones but we live in great expectation for the final resurrection when all God's beloved children will be together. God's peace and love. Pastor Joel & Dawn Sarrault

Paul, Dale, Karen and Families,
Your cherished mother and grandmother was loved by many. She had a warm and kind heart.
I don’t remember a time when she didn’t have a smile and a kind word.
She will certainly be missed, but take comfort in knowing that she is now resting peacefully in the arms of God.
Thoughts and Prayers are with you.
