Our deepest condolences, Karen, Clara, Mandy, & Earl & families as you grieve for your Mom and Grandmother. We remember your Mom with affection. She was a dear woman who I always enjoyed visiting with here in Pinawa in the early years. Your Dad also is fondly remembered. You had great parents and they had very special children. I would have liked to have been at the funeral last week to give you all a hug but I didn't know about your Mom had died 'til yesterday. Karen, you always had a special place in our hearts, too! God comfort you all in His love. Love & peace, Pat and Larry Ramsay - Posted by: Pat & Larry Ramsay, Pinawa, MB (Friends) on: Oct 09, 2014

Sympathies to the entire family of my Auntie Arlene. I have very fond memories of her ready smile on our many visits on the farm and in Pinawa. A full life is all we can ask and it would appear that she had that in abundance. Love, Christine - Posted by: Christine Schnellert (Niece) on: Oct 03, 2014

We would like to pass on our deepest sympathies to the family. May the good memories help you through your time of sorrow. We can't fill the void that is left when someone so close passes on. We can remember all the good times and memories that they have left with us and at some point in time know they have gone to a better place. - Posted by: Peter and Joanne Hall (In laws to Raelene Hall(Klaprat)) on: Oct 02, 2014

I was sad to hear of the passing of your Mom/Grandmother. I know that she was loved by all who knew her. I remember at gatherings at Randall and Amanda's, how she thoroughly enjoyed being with us and how she made us feel so special. There will be times that it will be sad, like Christmas, birthdays, etc. but we as Christians know that she is being well taken care of. Please know that we will be thinking of you Thursday as you celebrate her life. Peace - Posted by: Elaine Gelhorn (friend) on: Oct 01, 2014
