They immigrated to Canada, with their two year old son, Karl, in 1956, and moved to Kitimat.
This community became their permanent home.
In Kitimat, they were blessed with three more children.
Mom, or “Oma”, as the grandchildren fondly would call her, loved reading, especially Danielle Steele books, and any kind of love stories.
She enjoyed doing word search puzzles, picture puzzles and she especially loved flowers and gardening.
She sure had a green thumb.
Mom (Oma) made the best...and we mean the best...Christmas Cookies ever!!!
We all could not get enough of “Oma’s” Christmas cookies.
We are not sure if anyone knew this about Mom, but she had a beautiful singing voice.
Just three weeks prior to her passing, her two daughters had the honor and privilege of hearing Mom sing several beautiful songs.
We joined in; this was definitely a moment to treasure forever! She was a very special woman.
We are so sorry we lost you, we will always love you Mom - may you rest in peace beside Dad.
Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will follow at a later date.
Flowers are gratefully declined – Should you wish - donations in memory of Anneliese Maria Meger, may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or the B.C. Cancer Foundation. We would like to thank the staff of Mountainview Lodge for all the care and support they gave our Mom (Oma).

LAWRENCE, Brian

We take peace, knowing he is now rejoined with his beloved Barbara Lawrence (Brown), who passed on February 18, 2010.
Brian was born in Sheffield, England, on July 31, 1932.
He and Barbara led a long and simple life, never complex, but always overflowing with love.
Their journey brought them to Canada in the 1960's with their 4 children.

Brian's life was full of love and adventure, but it was never the same after the passing of his Bab's.
Our hearts are heavy and our eyes are wet, but we know deep down...as he joked many times in only the way he could ... he is raising his glass saying, "it's about bloody time."
May we leave you forever dancing with your Brown eyed girl!
