  • It was a year ago you had to leave us. Auntie Pearl, you were one of a kind - always kind, always welcoming. It was a treat those many years ago to come to the farm where you made home made bread and of course your infamous perogies! Your door was always open with a smile. In 1994 you came on a cruise to the Carribean with us and what fun we had; so many laughs! Such a hard working woman, you deserve eternal rest and maybe somewhere, you are enjoying a lucky slot machine! - Posted by: Sherril Douglas (Neice) on: Apr 29, 2018

  • She was a wonderful lady and will be sadly missed. Our deepest condolences to the entire family. - Posted by: Gordon & Valerie Klym & Family (Friends & Neighbours) on: May 06, 2017
