    Dear Rita, Jake and family:

    So very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Connie with her sparkling eyes, mischevious smile and great booming laugh. We were very close in our youth, and I will cherish those memories always.

    Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the service as I am out of the country. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all, and I hope you will find comfort in the knowledge she is at peace now, in the arms of Egon and Kim.

    Barb…xoxo

    Dearest Jake, Rita, Laurie, Patty ‘n Families…

    Please accept our heartfelt condolence with the recent loss of Connie…

    I cherish the years we spent together back in the day… The days at KSS.. the gatherings at your house on Pandosy…
    … When my brother LaVerne called me ‘n told me that Connie was gone… I couldn’t accept that… Then I read the notice on Castanet.. ‘n it became all too real.
    But… God is good… a couple years ago we were in Chetwynd where my brother was working. He kept telling us about this flag girl who kept him going on days that were rough. Lo ‘n behold… there she was… Connie.. alive .. vibrant… Reconnecting after all of the years was awesome. I am thankful that we got to spend some time with her… ‘n hold her hand as we drove by…
    I will always remember you Connie… rest now.. with no pain…xo

    Say hi to Kim for me….

    Dear Laurie & Troy, Rita, Pattie and families,
    I’m so sorry to hear of Connies passing.
    I can still hear her beautiful laugh and see her smile. We spent a lot of time together in Edmonton and Connie always included me with your family and friends from Stoney Plain.She loved music and friends.Connie had a job being a court stenographer if I remember correctly, which in the day was one of the better jobs. She had a heart that seemed to never quit… A trait the Kulaks all posses.

    My condolence Jerryl

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
