We never met but we were part of the Danish Rasmussen clan. Gone too soon and my condolences to your family.
Over the years, Alice and I have kept in touch through emails. We shared lots of great jokes, stories and family history. She often went to visit my parents, Alex and Agnes Poulsen, her aunt and uncle. She loved my mom and said she was her favourite aunt but she probably said that about a lot of her aunts. Alice and I were in the same swim class at Elk Lake put on by the Times-Colonist paper. We both were so anxious to pass so we could have more freedom when we went to Beacher Bay for all the Poulsen clan picnics. Our families spent lots of time together when we were kids. Alice was always kind and thoughtful. She will be missed by many. Rest in peace, my dear cousin. We all loved you! Your cousins, Marge Mitchell and Anita King.
To the Parrett Family,
Our thoughts and love are with you all.

Goodbye dear Cousin, I appreciated all the times you took to contact and look in on our Poulsen elders. Time tends to pass us by too fast and we regret what we haven’t done or wish we could do over. Keeping a closer contact with my many cousins is definitely now on my to do list. You,my dear, will be sorely missed by many and loved by many more. Rest in peace. Love Cousin Bonnie xo
