Jack and family, our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma Alice. Alice was not only a lovely gem of a person, she was widely known and loved in our family. She and your dad lived with mom's aunt Gertie Derick when they first got married so they were life long friends as well as my grandparents Cassie and Bob Edwards and of course my parents Denny and Margaret Edwards. We will always remember Alice's hospitality and interest in our lives but most of all her funny little anecdotes. Our best to you all... - Posted by: Margaret, Lorraine and Louise Edwards (Margaret and Denzil (Denny) knew Alice and Ted from the time they first moved to Dauphin .) on: May 02, 2016
