Carol Kestell I am so sorry I wasn’t there for the memorial on October 23. My Aunty Alice was special to me, and I have so many wonderful memories of happy summers spent as a child with your family in Taber. Aunty Alice would slather us kids with Nivea cream every night before bed… To this day it’s fragrance brings back happy thoughts. I’m thinking of you all. Hugs.
Carol and the Kestell family.

Bruce Knowlden Bonnie, Heather and families. My heartfelt condolences. Auntie Alice was always special to me, almost like a second mother. I especially remember the summer I was literally part of the family, when I stayed with Auntie Alice and Uncle Jim while I was working for the Denches. Auntie Alice will always have a special place in my heart. Love, Bruce
