We are saddened by the loss of our beautiful Mom, but take comfort that she has now found peace. Her early years in war-torn Europe were filled with fear and desperation. She and Dad were so grateful for the opportunity to escape, and became loyal and proud Canadians. They both engaged in community building, operated a successful business, and raised six children. We appreciate all the hard work and sacrifice, and hope we made you proud.
Love always, Cora & Roger Golden

Hi Jeff and Karen. Thank you for the condolences. And thank you for reaching out. We are planning to move back to the Okanagan this year, after living in the States for the past 20 or so years. Hope we can reconnect. My email is christlsl@yahoo.com. Sandra and Willie.
