ALMA PRUDEN (nee STIRLING) August 25, 2000 Hi, Mom. It's been a while now, ten years to be exact, since you left us. And in all that time you still find your way into our hearts and memories. So many memories come to mind whenever we speak your name. And let's face it, our lives have never been the same without you. But that is not really a bad thing. Our lives have been enriched by having known you. You taught us integrity, responsibility, and even though you set the bar pretty high, I know you are pleased with the results. Life for us has been moving along, and even through all the labours, aspirations, celebrations and occasional missteps we experience, you taught us the strength and the grace to endure. Your granddaughters are just awesome. Of course you already know that. Crystal married, Arden and Cydney becoming young women. You would be so proud. You are in a better place watching over us and you know we're fine. You know we love you. The years come and go, and your treasured memory lives on. - Lorne, David, Nancy, Crystal, Cydney, Arden and family.
