    Hello Bev and Bernie
    We would like to extend to you and your family our condolences. We were planning on seeing you in person, but the weather conditions have prevented us from doing so. We will keep you all in our prayers and may the peace of Christ be with you during this time. Also we were going to bring my mom with us and she asked me to send her condolences as well. Sending you hugs. Steve and Linda Hulshof
    and Jean and Gerard Poel

    Edna was exactly how Marilyn described her. I adored her too when I worked at Wildwood Care Centre.
