My mother in law was near here in Innisfail and I knew her from Three Hills so I would try to stop and say hi when I was there. I was there briefly just before and didn't have a chance to stop do I had no idea . My condolences to your family.

My sincere condolences to Robert, Melanie, Chris and their families. I had no idea ...just tried to phone her as we have kept in touch a couple of times a year. I have many fond memories of times we shared. Many years watching hockey together in Beiseker arena and others in the area. Worrying our sons would injure themselves on the skateboard ramp we helped them get funding for and more.
