Bride to Be - May 2011

Mother to Be - July 2011

More Wedding

So Hubby did not want to attend; he had to be convinced. I think he had a good time once we got there! He looks especially good with the flowers below. I had received a beautiful shawl from a girlfriend and it was perfect for my sleeveless dress - it is still cold here and snowy outside so I was being rather brave wearing a sleeveless dress. We pray that Aunt Louise and our new Uncle Bill will have a wonderful marriage together and that God will Bless this union.

My cousin walked his mom down the aisle.

Bueckert Wedding

We attended my Aunt's wedding yesterday. Her grandchildren were part of the wedding party and her twin brother and his wife were the attendants.

Uncle John Dyck

Born March 31st, 1925
Died January 21, 2010

We visited my Uncle John in December (2008) when his health was already declining. Regardless of how he felt, we had a wonderful visit with him, his son, Doug and Doug's two daughters. As it happens that was our last visit with him. He bravely fought cancer for over a year and his wish was to be in Heaven so God finally heard his prayers. His wife, Aunt Marie, passed away in November 2008 and so now they will once again be united.

Uncle John was my father's youngest brother. He is part of a set of twins. Aunt Mary, the other twin now remains the only living sibling.

Uncle John remained a bachelor for many years when he met a widower with four children. Soon a wedding followed with the lovely stylish Marie and Uncle became a father immediately. When I visited with them over the years, there were always lots of stories of children, travelling, dogs and Uncle's various jobs. They were always welcoming when I travelled to BC where they lived.

I will always have a special place in my heart for both my Uncle John and his twin sister, Aunt Mary. It is a sad day to lose another Uncle as one generation is slowly coming to an end but I am happy that their generation knew God and Jesus and knew where they would reside after death. Praise be to God!

Myrna Marie Faust

November 13th, 1948 - December 24th, 2009

We read of a place that's called Heaven;

It's made for the pure and the free;

These truths in God's Word He hath given,

How beautiful Heaven must be.

How beautiful Heaven must be,

Sweet home of the happy and free;

Fair haven of rest for the weary,

How beautiful Heaven must be.

Our dear sister/sister-in-law bravely battled cancer but lost the fight on Christmas Eve. Myrna got to spend her first Christmas in Heaven and what a special gift that must have been!
