I wanted to express my sincere condolences to your family in the loss of your Mom, Edith. I did not know Edith well but growing up it seemed our trips to visit my grandparents (Roman & Marie) in Manitoba always included a visit to see Edith (sometimes it was planned and other times we ended up just running into her). What I remember about your Mom is how happy she was. She was always smiling and laughing. A very pleasant person to want to be around. I know my grandma Marie, spoke very highly of Edith and that says alot because my Grandma's opinions meant the very most to me :) Thinking of you all at this difficult time. May her memory live on in your hearts forever. xoxoxoxo Andrea - Posted by: Andrea (Edith was my Mom Judi's Aunt) on: Jul 03, 2014

I have very fond memories of Mrs. Dobchuck as my school friends mom and our "EGG LADY" delivering our eggs to the house for many years when we lived in Gladstone. She was always a wonderful, friendly lady with a beautiful smile! She always showed unconditional positive regard for everyone and I was blessed by growing up with her in my community.
