Sending my deepest sympathy to Rosie’s family. So sad to hear. We spent a lot of time together when we were kids in the summer holidays. Mom and dad would always go to Alta. So mom could see her family. As we got older and married our visits dwindled . As I live in Saskatchewan we were only able to have a few short visits. Thinking of you extending sympathy hoping your memories will ease the pain .
With love cousin Joyce Flavel (nee Gritzfeldt)
