I remember Miss Friesen as being the school nurse in my elementary school way back in the 70's. She cared for me so wonderfully as a child. It was my honor to thank her when I met her at Bethel Place and to be able to spend a day with her at Golden West thru my employer and return the care she gave me. My sympathies to the family. She was a wonderful lady. - Posted by: K Peters (former student) on: Mar 06, 2014

My condolences to Kay's family. I worked with her years ago when she was a Public Health Nurse. Lovely, spunky lady - lots of fun and very caring towards her clients and friends. I've thought of her often over the years. God Bless you Kay, From Kimberly N. - Posted by: Kimberly N (former co-worker) on: Mar 05, 2014

I just recognized Katie's face as the young Mennonite lady that graduated from the Misericordia School of nursing in 1950. I will send you the Family condolences from two of her colleagues Mary Wiens Hoeppner and Justina Wiens Peters. Mary is 93 and not doing too well at Salem in Winkler and Justina lives in Saskatoon. - Posted by: ERNA (sister's collegue) on: Mar 05, 2014
