Yea though I Walk Through The Valley Of Shadow Of Death I Will Fear no Evil For Thou art with me thy rod and thy staff they comfort me Psalm 23 v 4 To Ray & Jane & Friesen Family
To Aunt Nettie’s family: We have many fond memories of visits with Aunt Nettie. She will be missed. We give thanks for faith and hope. May you experience the comfort and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
With love and prayers.
Sending hugs to everyone. I loved your mom. We had many good visits when I did her foot care. She will be quilting in heaven..
Dave and Nettie were great friends and neighbours during their time in Handel while Dave was teaching here. Nettie was for sure a great homemaker and super seamstress I still use many of her great sewing trips. We enjoyed many awesome visits and Bible studies with the Friesens in their home or ours. So sorry for your loss. A life well lived.
