Mama and I are so very sorry and send you all big hugs and much love. We will miss our sweet sister and beautiful Aunty. We feel so very grateful that we had so many special moments and laughs with her! I will especially cherish all the quiet talks we had and and the gentle hugs she gave me, sweet Couz. We are so lucky we were able to re-connect with not only our beautiful sister and Aunty after a number of years apart, but also the rest of the family. It is wonderful to have you all in our lives again. We will cherish our memories forever. All our love, Aunty Polly and Couz xoxoxo My girls and their families also send hugs and condolences to all (Shelley & Colton; Brandy, Shane, Reese, Madelyn & Cecilia xoxo

We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom.when your Mom lived in Camrose, she and my mother Ruby Fitzgerald were very good friends and spent a lot of time visiting, playing Scrabble and worked at the Food Bank together. She was very special to our family and to have coffee with her the couple times I did after my Mom died was like having a little piece of my mom back again thanks to Reggie. We just loved her. May she rest in peace.
