She was born in Meade, Kansas on Feb. 29, 1912, married her Canadian sweetheart, Cornelius, in 1932, and later moved to Canada. They had 11 children, whom they raised together until Corneil's early death in 1958. Mable's quiet strength of character brought her through many challenging years with a large young family to raise on her own. Cherishing her memory are her children: Edgar (Margaret), Alvina Klassen (Ike), Jim (Yvonne), Virginia, Lois Lewycky (Laverne), Marlene Sundeen (Lee), Randall (Beth), and Joyce Reimer (Lou). She also leaves her brother, Fred Friesen (Sarah), many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a host of others affected by her warmth and perpetual smile. Those going before her include her husband Cornelius, and her children, Stanley, Adeline, Harold, and grandson Jamie. Mable's positive attitude toward life showed itself in: a hum or whistle, a ready game of Scrabble, an inviting flower garden, and an open door to all. She lived her life according to the verse, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God." Romans 8:28. To the sweetest Mom, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, we have appreciated your ready smile, gentle spirit, quiet strength and unwavering faith. Thank-you for making God the center of our family, for your unceasing prayers, for making us your priority, and for your uncompromising love. We pray that who we are today is a reflection of you. With love and admiration, Your family "Her children rise up, and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28 The family wishes to thank Larry Hirst, Dr. Myron Thiessen, and the health care staff and volunteers of Bethesda Place, Steinbach, Man., for their compassionate and loving care given to Mable over the last few years. A funeral service will be held at Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church, Saturday, April 16, 2005, at 11 a.m., with viewing an hour before the service. Funeral arrangements by Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach and Winnipeg, Man. CLARA TOEWS 1915-2005 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Kathe spent 28 years of her life working with the medical personnel at the local hospital and later reaped the benefits of excellent care by some of the same people she worked with. We sincerely thank all of you. Our family says thank you to her church family, the chaplains at the hospital, and the nursing home, for their support, encouragement, prayers, and regular visits. She was appreciative of all your concern and care, but could many times not personally express it. Over the years Kathe sponsored children with World Vision, PO Box 1000, Stn.

Jean worked hard on the family farm, cutting and hauling wood and picking blueberries. She had a hard life, trying to make ends meet, but never complained. Her favorite saying was "one day at a time" and that is how she lived her life. Badger and Piney, Man. were never far away, as Jean and Gus would travel often to visit family and friends. This is where her heart was and she always considered the Piney and Badger area her home. In 1980, after the passing of her husband, Jean moved back to Piney, until she was no longer able to care for herself, and went into care at the Vita Nursing Home and later the Douglas Campbell Lodge. Jean enjoyed bowling, crocheting, bingo and playing cards. She loved flowers and working in her flower gardens. She also loved to hear a good joke. She was a quiet lady and loved to be around family and friends. She touched the lives of all who knew her. She has gone home now to the Lord and to her mommy and daddy. We love you Mom and Grandma.
