Pam and I are very sad to hear of the loss of Aunt Alice. We enjoyed connecting with her and Uncle Ab whenever that was possible in our infrequent visits from the coast or sometimes by phone. We offer our condolences to Uncle Ab and family. - Posted by: Alan Reimer (Nephew) on: Oct 07, 2012

One of my favourite people. I know our family always enjoyed our time with the Ab and Alice family. She was always curious about the nephews and nieces and what they were doing and had planned. Ab, children, you were so fortunate to have so much time with her. - Posted by: Phil Reimer (Nephew) on: Oct 05, 2012

We are so sorry to hear that Aunt Alice passed away. Our condolences to Ab, Margot and Gerald and your dear ones. I have many warm memories of times we've visited together from my early childhood to the visit to Thunder Bay a few summers ago. I always think of Alice as a warm, wise and good natured person and I am sad to think we won't meet again. Oliver and Brenda Reimer - Posted by: Oliver Reimer (nephew) on: Oct 05, 2012

Alice volunteered at the library at Misericordia while I was employed there. She was always such a joy to work with and we had such nice chats. When I had my 2 boys she knitted them sweaters. Ab and Alice always seemed like such a sweet, loving couple. I'm so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Kathy (friend) on: Oct 05, 2012

Dear Uncle Ab, Ron and I are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your lifelong partner. We have not seen you and Aunt Alice in decades and yet you are remembered in our family prayers. May you find comfort in the most surprising ways, from day to day. I give you one of my favorite Psalms in 90:1... Lord you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Sincerely, Elizabeth and Ron - Posted by: Elizabeth Morgan ( nee Reimer) (niece ) on: Oct 04, 2012
