    Our deepest condolences at the loss of Murla. From the day I meant her, until the last time we were together she was always with a smile, offered the most heart-warming advice and always with a cup of sugar/coffee/wine. She always had a jar of Jub-Jubs for Isaac’s little hands, as long as he left the black ones for Ron. Murla is one of the last strong, stubborn and most giving women that I looked up to and hope to achieve to be like. I am a better person for knowing her. Please know you are in our thoughts. Murla and Ron will always live on in the memories closest to our hearts.

    My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your mother. She always had time for a visit whether at the post office, grocery store or a fair. I will remember with fondness her smile and her laugh. Today is the 4-H Dairy Clubs Achievement Day at South Mountain and I will always remember Murla and Ron sitting in the stands supporting their grandchildren and in the last few years the great grandchildren in the peewee class. They were great supporters of 4-H and many young people benefited from their encouraging words. May you find strength and comfort in the caring thoughts of family, friends, and your extended friends at the curling club and the agriculture community at this difficult time. From Matthew 25 “Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord”

She was constantly whistling and Brenda, you told us that when you heard someone whistling in the Royal Bank, it was either your Mom or Bill Collins. We have fond memories of your family.
