Hello, Mike and Family: Having been unable to attend your Mom's service in person, I followed via livestream. Very touching words to honour her, and a life lived well. My condolences to you.

Rest well grandmother

Jeremy Sorensen, July 4, 2024

I extend my heartfelt sympathy to you and yours Shirley for your loss of your Mom. We had just spoken of her together recently. The years have gone by quickly leaving memories of the Beresnak's on the farm near Monarch, you kids all at school in Nobleford, and Doug in my class at school. Best, Joyce
