Dear Giesbrecht family, we are sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. We take comfort in knowing she is free from pain and sorrow and has been reunited with her husband, your dear dad. She was such a loving and faithful friend to our parents and family ever since we met ‘down on the farm’! Hugs and prayers from the Jesse Family. ~ Friesen Betty
