Death notice for the town of: Medicine-Hat, Province: Alberta
My sincere sympathy to learn of the passing of Auntie Marge.
I even remember being taught at Luce school one vacation to Grampas. Then the teacher became my Auntie. There are so many good memories of time shared.
I pray that they will be of comfort to all the family in the days to come.
To Dale, Sharon, Wade and Lorraine as cousins we have been separated by time
and life but memories are a healer. My best to your families.
God bless you and keep you , sincerely Sharon
Wade, Dale and families the passing of your mother will leave a space that will be there for ever.
I recall visiting your mon and dad at the farm having to play cards all afternoon then staying for supper. Wade, I still do not know why Auntie Marge would think it was us that caused the chickens to disappear in the out house.
