It's been a long time since I have spoken with any of you, but whenever my sisters-in-law mention your mother in their associations, I am reminded of how much a part of our Lowe Farm church association both she and your dad were when I was growing up. Always cheerful and smiling, she encouraged me many a time, even naming one of her daughters after me. That was quite an honour. - Posted by: Clara (Wiebe) Hunston (Childhood friend of your family) on: Mar 03, 2012

Dear members of the family - Good memories of your mother, during my short residence at Lowe Farm, include friendship, hospitality, and encouragement. I had joyful times with you, her daughters, when you helped with my garden produce so I could participate in Daily Vacation Bible School Classes. Your mother initiated this. It was my privilege to meet her at Bethel Place fairly recently. Our friendship had not diminished over the years! I did not know it would be the last time. Wishing all of you God's comfort, Betty Klassen - Posted by: Betty Klassen (was married to Ernest Wiebe ) on: Mar 02, 2012
