Randy Sangha Dear Sammy, Jug, Peno and Buffy. I can not express the sorrow I feel for the loss of my beloved Mussie, Assie Kaur, she always opened her home to me on Blackwood and to so many others. I would walk in to see Jug and say its okay Ma its only me and she would always say okay but make sure you come upstairs and see me before you leave. She treated me like family and I will never forget her love and warmth that she showed me. May she rest in peace. Randy Sangha

Ron and Sheela Torgerson Deepest sympathy and condolences to Assies family.
Sheela and I have great memories of time spent with Assie over many years. She was a rare gem of a person and we will always remember her.
With sincerity and great respect.
I was honoured to have known Assie, and spent a great deal of my youth in her home bing friends with Harjy. She always welcomed everyone with a warm heart and kindness. Growing up I always appreciated her humour and honesty. She was an amazing woman. I send the entire extended Bains my deepest sympathies. And love to light to all.
