    We recently had the pleasure of seeing pictures of Mrs. Klassen’s 90th birthday celebration. She looked so lovely and like she was fully enjoying herself.

    Hi Brenda, Dave, Brooke & Haley,
    We are so sorry for the loss of June. She had a long and full life with her family close by. She also had her quilting and art projects. You will all miss her, but the memories you have will stay with you. As you get older memories are important. Again we all send our condolences.
    Hugs to all!! Jeanine, Ken and all the Shannon family

    Dear Brenda, Murray and Nancy (and your families) – we were so sorry to hear of Aunt June’s passing. We looked forward to her Christmas letter every year, and to hearing about her quilting and activities. She was always so proud of her family. We are thinking of you at this time and sending thoughts and prayers.

    Mildred and Brian

    Dear Brenda, Murray, Nancy and family members,

    Please accept my most sincere condolences on the loss of your Mother and Grandmother.
    I will remember Aunt June as a very classy lady who spoke of her quilting talent with modest grace and a beautiful smile.
    As a young teenager I remember travelling with Uncle Ernest and Aunt June down a dusty gravel road in Alberta, after a Klassen family reunion near Rosemary. Aunt June was cautioning Uncle Ernest not to go to fast on the gravel road! We were travelling to my parents home near Pincher Creek. Such a fun young couple!

    With deepest sympathy,
    Doris Pinkoski
