My Mom was the kindest, gentlest, and understanding woman I have ever known. She would always give me great advice and she was always there for me when I needed her the most. She was a loving mother to her children and a loving wife to my Dad. We lost a lovely soul. I will deeply miss her. She is resting now.

~ Brent Schmidke

Dear Brent and Karen Your mother was always so kind to me throughout the years. Even though she knew I was an active participant in making her home a mess while her and Gord were out having fun those evenings at the bowling alley. From time to time I would bump into Gord and Elma at the hospital and Gord would grin at me, and jokingly make a snide remark about our days of being troublemakers back in high school and Elma would roll her eyes and smile like it was no big deal. Truly wonderful people. Your friend always Glenn
