    I am so sad to hear of the passing of my cousin, Alma. My mother, Molly and Alma's dad were brother and sister from the Wagner family. Her Dad (Philip) was my favorite uncle and loved him dearly too. It has been many years since I recall Alma when she lived in Eatonia next to my Aunt and Uncle, Bill and Doris Kool, and worked in the local theater. So sorry for your loss from our our family to yours. Love and hugs to Yvonne also. Faye (Kool) Dalrymple. Salmon Arm, BC

    My condolences to the Brown family. Alma was my cousin on my mother's side, the Wagner clan. My mother and Alma's father, uncle Philip were brother and sister. I have fond memories of my uncle Philip when we visited Eatonia with all those relations. I grew up in Medicine Hat and remember visiting Alma and Bob Brown with my mom and dad, Pauline and Oscar Springer. I was a small girl then and I used to love listening to the adults on these visits and was in awe because I thought that Alma and Bob looked alike as man and wife. So both attractive people. It's interesting as we get older we want to reconnect with family members. Yvonne, I think of often and my condolences to you. So nice to hear from other cousins as well Faye, and know for the family of your dear Alma, that Wagner clan Is so reuniting, Blessings to all, Bev

    It was such a pleasure to have recently gotten to know Alma. The time shared at St. Joseph's made the hours go by much quicker and happier. Thank you Barb for getting in touch with us so that we saw her before she passed. Vivian, Wes, Carol & Polly
