Bill, Julie and Family
We are thinking of you as you grieve and also celebrate the life of your Mom and Grandmother.
We felt saddened when we read of your Mom’s death. She was such a beautiful Lady.
Your Mom was the last of the Keremeos merchants that were such a big part of our lives when growing up.
I enjoyed the visits I had with her at Concorde. She had so many memories of people and activities in Keremeos. We had some good laughs.
We hope the wonderful memories of your Mom and Grandmother will help you through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Beryl and Bruce
