Thinking of you in your loss. Your folks were very dear to us in their Kelowna days. Our Leah was hoping to be at the funeral today to represent our family. Your Mom used to talk about her trips to Oklahoma and visiting family and going to Conv there. A few years ago we finally got there and enjoyed it very much and thought of her and how much she loved it!!!! Wishing you all the best with love from Jack and Leona xo
