The family wishes to express our heartfelt thank you to the special people who are caring and making a home for Klaas, David, Frank and Ben. Mom cared deeply for her children and it grieved her when she was no longer able to care for them herself. She was grateful to the special “families” who made a home for them. So again, thank you and may God bless you for your kindness.
Wiebe Funeral Home, Winkler in care of arrangements.
