Dear Janet – Dianne and I remember well your dear mother. We have had many conversations with her over the years and she had a great number of good friends here and in Calgary. A strong lady who had no trouble in speaking her mind and she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
O God, who holdest all souls in life: Cleanse our sorrow by the gift of faith, and confirm in our hearts the knowledge of Him who is the Resurrection and the Life, they Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Rest eternal grant unto her, O Lord, may light perpetual shine upon her. May she rest in peace, may she rest in peace.
