ALBERT (AB) WILLIAM PETERSEN October 19, 1922 - August 29, 2002 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ab Petersen on Thursday, August 29, 2002, at Deer Lodge Centre. Ab was predeceased by his loving wife Florence in 2000. He will be lovingly remembered by his only daughter Gaye Sydenham (Bob) of Edmonton; his grand-daughter Terri Thomas (Fred) and great-granddaughters, Taylor and Logan Thomas of Lethbridge. A very special thank you to the staff of 2 South and T6 of Deer Lodge Centre for their kindness to and care of Ab during his time there. Dad you meant more to me with every passing year. You gave me so much and you asked so little in return. You guided me, but you let me go my own way. You set a fine example, as you patiently taught me your lessons in life. Often I found myself thinking of you Dad... of the support and encouragement you gave me over the years, of your generosity, kindness and guidance, and especially of the many talks we had together, and its when I think of these things that I realize how much it has helped me to know that you had many of the same dreams and doubts that Ive had in my life. But most of all, Dad, you taught me about love by setting an example with your gentleness and openness and warmth. You enriched my life forever with your lessons and your love. You made me proud and happy to have a Dad, as fine as you. In keeping with Abs wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN EDEN FUNERAL HOME 4477 MAIN STREET 338-7111
