Death notice for the town of: Wainwright, Province: Alberta
Chelsea and family, thinking of you, and wish you peace at this time of sorrow.
Dear Chelsey and family members: I wish to express our sympathy to the Smallwood family on the passing of Bob. What an amazing family and wonderful life that he has had – a true Albertan. He and his wife Donna have raised 3 successful and gifted children.
Chelsey was a valued and trusted colleague of mine. She shared many stories about her father and the love she has for him. Funniest story that Chelsey shared was her dad getting her up very early in the morning, after a night of partying (which Chelsey swears to me that she no longer engages in), to pound new fence posts into the ground and restring barbed wire. Now that is a rancher/farmer dad taking care of his daughter! Chelsey’s good humor and love for her father and mom always shone through in her family stories.
My family and I join in expressing our sincere sympathy for the passing of Bob Smallwood. We are thinking of all of you at this time of mourning.
Liz, Ian and Wayne MacDonald
