To the whole family,
Today we celebrate the wonderful life of an even more wonderful woman. I pray that there will be peace in all our hearts as now she is back with her true love Albert and they are both watching over us everyday. I will always remember her on holding either one of my boys when they were babies at Ruth’s house rocking them and singing her own by-o-lee-o song to them. She holds a special place in our hearts and we will forever cherish the fun memories we have with her both in California and at home in Candada.
