Death notice for the town of: Medicine-Hat, Province: Alberta
We thank our loving Lord – Dora is safely “home” with Him. We will always remember her gentle grace , her care about others, her beautiful smile, her peaceful spirit. She knew her Lord and trusted Him while on her long journey through life. What an example she leaves her family and friends. We know she will be missed but also that we have hope of a future reunion at Jesus feet!
We pray that her loved ones find peace in trusting her to her Lord.
Much sympathy, Sheila and Joe Bjerkseth
