You will be missed, Julianna.
Saddened to hear the passing of Julianna. A generation of family is passing from this present life, leaving many memories. Uncle Fred and Julianna were our first neighbors, as we settled away from the original clan site of North Peigan (Hairy Nose) in the eastern section of Piikani Nation. Many hours were spent growing in a safe neighborhood. The closeness was sensed more-so with the "outpouring of Holy Spirit" and the preaching and teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ to family. Sundays were filled with fellowship in a "log church" along Highway 3 and later to the present Church On The Rock Christian Fellowship (Full Gospel Church). Uncle Fred along with others were instrumental in the establishment of the present church building. Julianna taught us in children's church with Bible lessons, songs and craft activities. Many times it was spur of the moment in Grandfather Victor's log home in the middle of the neighborhood. Many memories revolved around the work of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray God's grace and mercy on her family as she is remembered and laid to rest in Piikani Nation. We don't say goodbye but "so long" as we await the eternal unfolding of God's plan in Christ's Kingdom. Manfred North Peigan Pastor COTR Christian Ministries
