Your mother was such a delight whenever she came to the
Dunham Health Clinic for medications. She never passed by without seeking me out. I loved chatting to her about life.
She had a wonderful smile and always a twinkle in her eyes....I will really miss you. God Bless

Aunt Claire was always so much fun to be with. I
loved "hanging out" with her, at the family reunions. She kept me laughing. I really enjoyed her and Uncle Doyt
anytime I got to spend time with them. Both were so interesting to talk with and spend time. I spent many a hours
around the old table at grandma's with them. I miss both and am so sorry over your loss. I know how hard it is
to lose both parents. Life is never the same.
Dawn Wright and family
