Jamie and Jedd, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful person. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
I babysat all four of the Bath children for many years, from Dominion St to Valleyview.
Sandy was the quiet one but loved to snuggle into my arm when I’d read to her and Cindy and I always held a fond place for her in my memory. The world will be less because she isn’t a part of it. Hazel, I can only imagine your pain but know my thoughts and prayers are with you all.. Diane Atchison Waugh
To Hazel and Willie,
My family and I are truly sad about your loss.
We can only imagine what you’re going through right now but we’re reassured of the hope of the resurrection. I want you to know that I’m willing to lend a listening ear anytime.

Thank you so much Kemi for the visit and for the flowers.
Thank you so much Diane for your kind words. Thank you for being such a wonderful baby sitter. The children loved you. Thank you for your prayers and understanding. Love Hazel and family.
To Jamie and Jordana,
My heart goes out to you both for the sad loss of your Mom. She was strong, empathetic, loyal and kind. We had great visits together and talked so much that we didn’t get a lot of Bible study done. I loved to see her laugh so hard that tears would come to her eyes.
My condolences to the family.
Sandra and I met and became close friends a few decades ago when we both lived in Edmonton. When I moved to Salmon Arm, I visited her and her family several times in Kamloops and Celista. Although we lost contact through over the years, I still thought of her often and will always remember her kindness and honesty and her great sense of humour.
My deepest deepest condolences to the Bath family. I was so glad to run into Stephen at the beginning of June. I am glad i took the time to go see an old friend. We got to spend a number of hours together reminiscing old times. As life often gets busy i wish i took the time to have made another visit.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear. RIP my friend.
Jeanette, thank you so much for being Sandra’s friend and taking the time to visit her during her illness. It meant a lot to her. Hazel and family
