Peacefully, in her favorite sleeping position, early in the morning on Sunday, April 18, 2010 our Mom went to be with Jesus at the age of 95. She is lovingly remembered by five daughters and two sons: Elma, Eileen (Abe), Peter (Darlene), Susie, Helen, Marilyn, Brian (Anita); nine grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and one brother. Helen was predeceased by her husband Peter in 1991 and her son-in-law Dennis in 1992. She was also predeceased by six brothers and two sisters. The family would like to express appreciation and gratitude to the Home Care staff for their many years of care and love. A special thank you to Dr. Minaar for stepping in to take care of our Mom in the hospital; and also thank you to all the medical and housekeeping staff for their assistance. A very special thank you to Pastor Richard Martens and Chaplain Larry Hirst for your many visits and prayers. Also thank you for the many prayers from all of you.
