Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • To Gary and family, I am so, so sorry to hear of Loretta's passing, she was the most loving, kind and generous soul. Because my father worked for Marcel for many years at Pembina Mountain Clay, our family got to know Loretta and Marcel very well! We have many fond memories of them visiting us at Jessica Lake and at our home in Windsor Park! I truly loved this lady, and I will always hold her in my heart!
