Dirk, we offer our deepest condolences to you and your family on Rita’s passing. May God’s Love be close as you cherish her memory. She was always so cheerful when we got together in “our early years” in Winnipeg. It was so nice to catch up when we met several years ago in Winnipeg at the Tim Hortins on Regent…. Saint Paul writes ” we mourn but not as those who have no hope”…Thess 4: 12&13. Lots of Love John and Vera Wiebe, Kelowna, B.C.
