Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Our Auntie Ingunn was a remarkably strong Icelandic-Canadian woman who will be greatly missed. She was matriarch to a large extended family that loved her and who respected her as a person of candor and great humor and as someone who displayed courage in adversity. She gave the world five lovely children, each blessed with her rare qualities. We will miss that marvelous twinkle in her eye. - Posted by: David Osborne (Nephew) on: Sep 06, 2016

  • Dad and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies. I know dad will miss his chats with your mom. I remember her working in the store always with a kind word or smile upon her face. She would always ask how mom and dad are doing. She will be missed. Keeping you all in out thoughts. - Posted by: Joanne Bergman () on: Sep 04, 2016
