Rest in Peace

Mildred McDonald

We are back home after our car trip to BC to lay to rest Glen’s mother, Mildred McDonald. Thank you for your kind prayers for the eternal rest of her soul.

  • Prior to our big road trip, I was in Derwent at WISDOM’s in-service, involving the whole WISDOM team. The Mediated Learning team presented two major sessions to all who were gathered. The preparation and practice leading up to this work-related event was substantial. I’m grateful to God for all His assistance in these matters and for providing all that was needed during my time away for work.

  • I’ve started a few newsletters during my time away to both Derwent and British Columbia but never did manage to pull it off. Thanks for your kind understanding. I have been missing you all.

  • It was super stopping in to visit with my sister-in-law, Nicole, and Greg in Agassiz. It did my heart so much good to be in my brother’s home. I miss him and remember him daily in his new life on the other side of the resurrection.

    Once we are settled in, I’ll send some photos from our trip. :)

Thank you for your prayers. We did loose our baby.

From the Tucci Jrs.:

We are looking for a competent person to hire to fix our foundation cracks on our home in Westlock. 

We can provide the kits if need be - we just lack the time to attend to it, and most companies are booking into October. If you know of someone who might be able to help, please let us know.
