Death notice for the town of: Edmonton, Province: Alberta
To Bill (and family). I am so very sorry for your loss. Lee was a super loving, kind, immensely Christian lady, which showed in all she did. And Bill you were such a wonderful husband to her, and prayers to all you, and the kids. It can take a long time to get used to, when they have been such a loving person. We will see them some day, but truly the days can seem a little long (until then). From your first cousin (Mary)-Carman, Manitoba
