CARD OF THANKS

The family of Bob Robbins – a very special thank you to all the Daysland Medical staff, hospital staff, and Jerry’s Pharmacy. Home Care staff have been so compassionate to Bob that I cannot thank you enough. My family and I want to thank all the people who visited Bob during his illness. This meant so much to him. Many thanks to everyone who brought food to the house, all the gorgeous flowers, and the memoriams. Thank you to Don MacLeod for the bag pipes. Thanks to U.C.W. for the fabulous lunch, the pianist Denise Zimmel, Burgar’s Funeral Home for all their help. Rev. Brian Hunter, you are very special in my heart for the heart-warming service. Thank you to Jack Moser and the two grandchildren for their eulogies. Words cannot say enough for everyone who has been so supportive in our time of loss. We love you all.
Doreen and families

Dear friends – where does one find the words to truly express their thanks and appreciation for all the outpouring of love and support during the past few months? Your strength was my strength, your tears, my tears; I could never have got through it without you. A special “thank you” to Deanna, Sharleen, and Stan, Lorna and Murray for all you did when Lisa’s time was near and I had to get to Calgary quickly. The outpouring of sympathy – flowers, cards, emails, and phone calls since Lisa’s passing has been overwhelming, and I am so grateful to everyone. Although no funeral was held, an interment may be held at a later date.
Thank you,
Ginny and family
