Death notice for the town of: Edmonton, Province: Alberta
A beautiful bud has left the family tree but her spirit will live on!
She was my beautiful Sunday School Teacher whom I’ve never forgotten.
Her love of God and fellow man shone greatly in her heart and soul. When her and Bill married that love for one another was exceptional. The family has been so blessed to have her in their lives. Her memories and legacies will live on to be nurtured by the family. Water that tree well and the buds will keep growing. She was my mentor!
