BETTY [PETERS/STELFOX] HREDIL:
Dear Janette & extended family. When I saw that lovely little photo of your dear mom, Janette, it brought back many wonderful memories of Frank & my visits to Roy & Florence's home in Fort McCloud. We loved our visits with you kids, also!! Thinking of Florence's 'Home Call', she's now 'seeing what she so whole-heartedly believed & lived. In faithfulness, she's "Hung her shield of faith in victory" and we're so thankful! "The SORROW of PARTING can feel GREAT indeed, but the COMFORT of a loving MEMORY is much GREATER!" In a special way, my thots & prayers were with you all today. I was so sorry to miss the service. Lotsa love from Penticton BC :-) b

I have good memories of visiting Roy and Florence with my parents Fred and Bea (Stelfox) Knipe. When I was very young we visited them in Rocky Mountain House. Then we all moved to Pincher Creek when my folks got elderly and we visited in Fort Macleod. Florence was a lovely lady and a gracious hostess. I'm so sorry to miss her funeral. My thoughts are with you today. Sending my care and sympathy.
