We offer our condolences to the Sobkow family. We have many dear memories of your mom and our Auntie Francis. Every year I would drive home from Calgary with my daughter Krista for summer holidays and each year we would visit with Auntie and cousin Martha in Wroxton, SK. Often we would spend the night to look at pictures and to take advantage of her garden as each year she would add just a little more (Krista was in heaven investigating the entire yard) and the shed was also very curious to her. She just wanted to know what was in there. My most vivid memories of Aunties' garden were the flowers, vegetables and fruit trees, the garden was always void of any weeds as she spent tireless hours to maintain the garden. It was always a tranquil place, fruit of her labour. The most stunning picture that I have of her garden with (my mom (Stella), Krista and myself) is the enormous size of a white "Baby's Breath" which towered over us, it must have been over 6 feet in diameter and 6 feet tall. Aunt Francis and family drove out to Calgary for Krista's wedding, we were honored with their presence. I flew out to visit with Auntie Francis at Duck Lake summer of 2015, we had a good visit. The most memorable moment, I asked, "Auntie, how old are you?" She replied, "One hundred minus 1", just a great moment. Marge and I had a chuckle and Auntie had a smile on her face. Your mom and my Auntie Francis and Krista's Grand Auntie will be dearly missed, I hope we all live as long as she did. The good LORD will now look after her, resting in peace - in heaven. Bless her. Our thoughts are with the family. Christine Dombroski and Marcelo Campos, Krista & Bog Kosic and her family
