We had a safe fast trip to Manitoba, arriving in Steinbach Wednesday noon (Dec 10th) after 21 hours in the car. My sister, Delores and her family arrived shortly after us. We began planning the family service which was held Friday evening at the Birchwood Funeral Chapel and the funeral which was held Saturday morning at Greenland Church. I gave a tribute to my mother Friday night at the family service, which can be viewed here. Jason read the obituary at the funeral service, which can be accessed online.

All of mom’s living brothers and sisters and many friends attended these services. It was so nice to see so many people whom I had not seen for years, even decades.

After the arrangements had been made, we began cleaning out her apartment and disposing of her belongings. On Wednesday morning, Dec 17th, we left for our home in Texas, arriving here last night.

We are so grateful for all the love poured out on us in the form of prayers, greetings, cards, money gifts and food. May the Lord bless each one of you.

My sister, Delores, and her husband, Menno Reimer.
