LOUISE DOERKSEN
Tribute to Louise Doerksen:
'Twas April the third,
and the year 2018,
God called a sweet lady,
so pure and so kind,
Louise they called her,
met Jesus that day,
we know it was God
who called her away.
Sadly missed by her husband,
Tony Doerksen.
Two years have passed and every day I miss you, but especially on Sundays. Your embrace when I'd see you, your smile spotted miles away, your chuckle, your energy and your amazing compliments. I miss those the most. :) There is nothing like a grandparent's love. Yours, Grandma, was indescribable. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. Your legacy was clear: to love, encourage and laugh throughout life. This is what everyone should strive to do. We love you.
- Your loving granddaughter, Celine Cramer.
To my cherished mom, I know I speak for our entire family when I say you're dearly missed. And though you've gone to be with Jesus, your prayers of encouragement and love continue to speak to me in unique and beautiful ways. One example was a prayer you had written for me in a journal which I recently came across while cleaning out one of your drawers. The entire journal was empty except for this one beautifully handwritten entry - a prayer of God's blessing over me. Your words brought me to tears. The irony is that I had given you that journal as a gift some time ago, and it was like you were presenting it back to me, bequeathing me to finish writing the story with your inscribed prayer of hope and blessing over me and my future. Wow! Thank you, Mom! This is just one example of how your love and encouragement continue to cheer me on even now from Heaven.
Love you forever, Ruth Bonneville.
Lovingly adored and remembered by her family: husband, Tony Doerksen. Children, Stan Doerksen (Carol), Ruth Bonneville, Charlotte Coyston (predeceased).
