    Dear Jane, Don: Happened to visit the website of Haskett Funeral Homes and saw Grace’s obituary. Felt sad to read about Grace’s death and your loss. I send our deepest sympathy and embrace you with our love. Gratitude for a life well-lived. Grace was always kind, gracious and caring to us when we were serving the church in Dashwood. Many good memories to cherish in our hearts. May you and all of our loved ones continue to feel the compassion of God’s during your time of sorrow.

    Dear Alan & Leanna, Jane & Don, Chris & Families . . .

    It is with saddened hearts that we are sending our sincerest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your dear and caring Mother and Grandmother, Grace. She was a very loving, kind, sincere, hard-working, proud, remarkable lady who along with your Dad, Clayton raised a wonderful family. It is always heartbreaking to see our once lively parents age and eventually leave this world behind – but know your parents are now reunited together again in Heaven forever. May the loving memories you have of your parents live on – in your hearts forever and help you through the difficult days ahead. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.” You have so many family, friends, neighbours & community grieving along side you and supporting all of you with their thoughts & prayers.

    May God keep you in his loving arms, as you grieve and celebrate Grace’s life. She is now resting in the arms of the angels and may her journey to the next life be as great as she was on earth.

    Rest in Peace dear Grace. ❤️

    So sorry for your loss – HUGS to all ????❤️
