Justin, I am so very sorry to hear that your mom has passed. As I think about your mom I can still remember her wonderfully bright smile! Your mom was a kind, carting, ambitious and generous woman. The wonderful qualities that I saw in her, in the short time knowing her, are ones that I also saw in you. She was so very proud of her son! I hope that during this difficult time you seek support from your family and friends. Let the lessons your mom gave to you carry you forward as you work through this difficult time. Thinking of you, Miss Nicole Reeve

Dear Randy, Sarah, and Justin, I went to high school with Angie. I was from La GlacÃ© and will never forget the first day of grade 10. It was scary going to a new, big school and when I walked into my first class, there was Angie sitting at the very back. She was so outgoing and loud, making everyone laugh and feel comfortable. She was a great athlete and intimidated players on the other teams. I saw her often with her delivery truck around town, she was always working so hard, but always had time to update me on her family. I'm so so sorry for your loss, she was such a wonderful person. I will be praying for you all for years to come. I am out of the country so won't be able to attend her funeral but please know I'll be upholding you with my prayers. Sincerely, Jodi lojczyc (Throness)

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Angie's passing. I worked with Angie only briefly but remember her wonderful laugh and her kindness. She was a very hard worker but always had time to share a laugh with co-workers. I enjoyed working with her very much and know she will be very missed by all those who knew her.
