She was always my favourite aunt. I have great memories of visiting her,  my uncle Buster and my cousins on their farm when I was a child. Aunt  Barbara had great energy and was always taking care of everyone.  As I lived in Vancouver the visits weren’t terribly common which makes them that much more special.

Whatever the age a loved one is when they leave,  it’s always too soon. I know her children (my cousins), grandchildren, friends and relatives are getting great comfort from the fact that she lived such a long, wonderful life.

My heart goes out to my cousins who have lost their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.   Losing a loved one is very difficult, but knowing she is now at peace will bring you comfort.  

For me,  Aunt Barbara was the last surviving relative of her generation.  I had the good fortune to visit with her at her home in North Battleford in June of 2015.   She was so happy to be surrounded by family - there were many smiles and much laughter.  She delved into her freezer and shared some of her beautiful baking with us - such a treat.  

May you be comforted in the knowledge she has been released from her suffering.  She has joined those who moved on before her - I’m sure she’s cooking up a storm. 

Much love to you all.  

Candice (nee Sander) Gatley

We just want to send our sincerest sympathy to all of you on the passing of your Mom.  Unfortunately we are unable to attend the funeral but we are thinking of you.  Barbara was always so gracious and good to us when we visited.  We stayed a couple of times with your Mom and Dad and she made her potato soup and blachenda for us; she even shared the recipes with me.  We remember her as a fun person, always a smile and a giggle.  You will have many good memories to share.  

Sincerely,
Larry and Katharine Burgart

Please accept our deepest sympathy. May the fond memories of your Mom bring you comfort during this hard time. Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. 
When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us.  
Love,
Kathy (nee Kraft) & Blaine Petkau
