    Dear Paschke Family:
    We were surprised and saddened to hear of Aunt Emma’s passing. She was a special aunt to me and was an inspiration with her smile and happy spirit. I’m sure she is even much happier in the lord’s presence. Our condolences to the family.
    Sincerely,

    I will be with you in thought & prayers as you lay your Mom in her final resting place & celebrate her life on Friday. I always enjoyed my visits with her in past & recently in Kelowna. I appreciated her love & caring & her advice. I remember many happy family times in past with the Paschke’s back in Morris, MB. I admired your Mom for managing the implement business along with all the other things she did. She was a very smart woman. Miss her and grieve your loss even though you know she’s in Heaven with Jesus & without any pain.

    Dear Paschke family: My sympathy at Aunt Emma’s passing. The picture you have provided for the notice is such a wonderful reminder of the brightness and liveliness of her spirit and her faith. I’m sure you find comfort and peace in knowing that even now she is received into the glory and light of her Lord.

    Dear Paschke family: Sincere sympathy to your family at the passing of your mother and grandmother. I first met Emma, (a cousin of my late husband, Clarence),in Morris, and then several times over the years at her homes in Kelowna. What a gracious lady! I especially appreciated the knowledge that she had about the genealogy of the Donst family. Remembering… When someone you know dies, you don’t get over it by forgetting; you get through it by remembering. No person is ever truly gone once they have been in our lives and loved us, as we have loved them.

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.
