From: Gale Hornung
Dear Gordon, Laverne and extended family, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss of a mother, grandmother and friend. Elsie now is pain free and starting her new Journey in heaven, meeting up with all her friends and family. Mom wanted to pass on her condolences as well. Mom always said what a kind lady Elsie was, and in their early days living in Willingdon they attended dances together, and farm visits and how much they enjoyed themselves. May Elsie…. Rest in Peace. Paul /Gale Hornung and Sylvia Farrus

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your Mother, Mother-in-law, and Grandmother.
There are four things in life that will change you–Love, Music, Art, and Loss.
The first three will keep you wild and full of passion.
May you allow the last to make you brave and courageous moving forward.
“Loves remembrance outlasts all!”

Val, Randy, Gordon & Laverne: please accept my deepest condolences. I just heard today of your Mom’s passing. She was a wonderful lady that always had a friendly hello, would ask how my family was, and talked about her own family with pride and love. A truly sweet lady. Find solace in knowing she rests and will never stop watching over all of you.
