Bob and I are sad to here of Irmgard's passing. She was a guest in our home on more than one occasion and I remember her as a gracious, giving, lovely lady. We appreciate the support she showed us when our daughter was travelling out of the country for a new medical treatment. We will never ever forget her generosity and big heart. Our sincere condolences reach out to the entire family; I know you will miss your grandmother, mother, sister and aunt terribly. She is with your Dad now and I'm sure very happy and content. - Posted by: Hilda Yerxa (Friend - brother married to Irmgard's daughter) on: Aug 10, 2014

I am sorry I will not be in Winnipeg to attend the funeral of Mrs. Schroeder who always made me feel welcome at the church when I arrived in 1979. I extend my sympathies to Dorothee and Monica and their families. I hope you will find comfort in each other. - Posted by: Lori (Fellow church member) on: Aug 10, 2014
