    Dear family of Berdeen;
    Her happy picture makes me smile and remember all the wonderful times we had at 950 Lanfranco and all the fun we had on our walks every morning.
    Her faith in the Lord was an inspiration to us and we loved her.
    Our love and sympathy to your wonderful family, of whom she was so proud.
    God Bless you from Beryl Baldeo and the Lanfranco Walkers.

    Dear Dave and Connie and Link Family. So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing, Connie. I remember her well, always so friendly, interested in whatever we were doing. It is only recently when we Laing’s were all together for Mom’s birthday that we were talking about your Mom and Dad and how much we always enjoyed them. Lots of love. Marj. Hope this finds all of you well too.

    To the Link Family:
    We have such fond memories of your Mom and Dad – lots of fun and laughs. We had coffee with Berdeen in Kelowna about nine years ago and had a good visit. We lost track of each other the last few years.
    Hope all is well with each of you.
    Please accept our sympathy.
    God Bless.
    Lorraine and Dick McKinnon

    Dear Connie and Dave,
    We have just learned of the passing of Berdeen and Pam and I wanted to express our sympathies to both of you and to the family.
    When we lose someone it does cause us to look back on the relationship we had with them and the stories start to flow. I always enjoyed your parents, Connie, and always felt very welcomed in their home. Your Dad was one of the few “successful businessmen” I knew and, knowing of his strong faith, the fact that he could at the same time be a”successful businessman” was an encouragement to me to remain faithful. I am grateful for all of that!

    Love,

    Rolly Laing

    To all the Link family, and especially Connie and Dave : Jerry and I want to send our deepest sympathies to all of you in the loss of your MOM and Grandma and Great Grandma.We always saw Berdeen smiling. Always!Elmer let us use his lovely ’66 Mercury for our wedding car. Not only was it turquoise, the colour I was crazy about, but its back window rolled down so we could get a picture of the bride and groom through that window ! Wow! We felt very rich ! So generous they both were to us. They took care of our 2 year old son, Ian, in the balcony of Bethel Baptist church, so that we could both sing in the choir every Sunday. He led the choir from that post ! We have so many good memories of Berdeen. Even cleaned and fried Ian’s first fish he caught @ Canyon Hot Springs campground. She was so good with kids because she loved them so much. We will miss her too as will you all. lovingly, Jerry and Heather Popoff(Dave’s sister).

    To the Link Family
    Your parents modelled so many positive Christian family values to us when we were new inexperienced parents. Brenda you sometimes babysat our children. We had so many fun evenings with your parents often after choir practice. When they moved from Calgary we didn’t communicate much, but we have so many wonderful memories of both your father and mother.
    God be with each of you as you adjust to the loss of your precious mother.
    Lovingly in Christ,
    Don & Doris

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.
