Condolence: We are so sorry to hear about Auntie Maria. I loved her so much. When I was younger and she would come to Manitoba to see Grandpa and Grandma, I always thought she was like a movie star. She was so beautiful!! Bernice, Darlene and myself went to Fort McLeod to see the Aunties when your Mother and Auntie Margaret were to see Auntie Dora. We surprise visited them singing "Multi an Triasca" at the door. The looks on their faces were priceless when they heard the singing and didn't know who it was. You can imagine all the laughing that happened there. We were saying we each had an Auntie to hug and they each had a neice to hug. We had a wonderful visit with and even tho' they were a little older, they were the same happy, wonderful women!! I tried calling her the last few weeks, but her being in the hospital, I never was able to speak with her. I will truly miss her and will think of her often as she was so important in my life. Take care and may God give you the strength during this difficult time. Love, Colleen, Bryan, Justine & Kathryn Elder
