I was so shocked to hear of Alice's passing. It's been a lot of years since we visited with them in Watson. But, oh, what a marvelous hostess she was. And her flower garden was beautiful. One of the best memories I have of Sask. My sincere condolences to Terry all of the family. - Posted by: Elsie Tanner (Kuma to Terry) on: Sep 18, 2015

Dear Terry, Christine and family. Please accept my sincere condolences to all of you on the loss of a very special lady. Ma was always a special friend and I am very privileged to have known her. Though it has been many years since I have seen her, she has always held a very special and important place in my heart and in my memories. I'm sure she must have gotten a huge hug from Bill when she arrived in heaven. Until we meet again. Love you Ma. - Posted by: Lizette Lavallee-Purchase (Friend) on: Sep 11, 2015
