I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mother Lou. I stayed at her place along with a couple of my cousins and my cousins Hettie daughters in July after Hetties funeral service. I truly enjoyed my short time with her and will truly always remember her. Sincerely Marilyn Forsyth Brandon MB - Posted by: Marilyn Forsyth (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2018

Our most sincere condolences to all Lou’s families. Shirley had the privilege of knowing her in grade school, and working with her at our local hospital. She was cheerful, friendly, and professional. In later years, we enjoyed being together as couples, as we raised our children in this community. Her dedication to her family was so obvious, unconditional, and lifelong. She was proud of her children, their accomplishments, and encouraged them to follow their dreams. She loved her home and garden and shared them with others. Always sports minded - she spent countless hours at the arena, supporting the figure skating, hockey and ringette teams where her children played many events. She will be missed by many many folks in this community, and will be remembered for her contributions. Our sympathy to all of you, for your loss is great. Shirley and John Unrau. - Posted by: Shirley & John Unrau (Friend) on: Oct 20, 2018
