Deb, Linda, Kenny and families,
Your mom was a caring and special lady! She always welcomed all of us Sherwood Park kids into her home as children. I was happy to see her at the beach also. So many great memories of fun times at the Warner home (even camping in the backyard when we were a “little” too loud in the middle of the night!) Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy, Jeanne, Mike, and family
