My sincerest condolences to all of you. I was deeply saddened to hear of auntie Arlene's passing. She was such an amazing woman - and such a true and wonderful friend to mom. I have so many memories of times spent at uncle Pete and auntie arlenes at your family home in grande prairie - the dinners there. I thought your family was so rich because you had running water and a flush toilet - how could you not be but I realize you were rich in a different way - in the love you have for each other and what a wonderful family you are. You have all been so strong and loving and looked after auntie Arlene so well with such devoted care and compassion in these last years. My love and prayers to all of you at this sad time.
