Much love to all, Joann & Rogers Lehew
Rick & Family,

Dear Rick, Dee and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. May the beautiful memories you’ve created warm your hearts and help you through the days ahead. “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our departed ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” Author Unknown
The “Stubbs” kids wanted to pass along our condolences and are sorry that we can not be there on Friday to celebrate Dot’s life with your family. It is truly the end of an era but thankfully there are many children and grandchildren to carry on all of the Boyle traditions that we were all blessed to receive. Dot was always so kind and welcoming to our family – she will not be forgotten.
Lots of love – Kathy, Maureen, John & Shelagh
My most sincere condolences to you and all the family. She will be prayerfully remembered as a kind and gentle person who had a great influence on my life growing up.
Dear Rick and Family
We know that it has been a rough 10 years for Dot since Hebe’s passing and that there must be a joyous reunion happening with both him and Mary.
We will be joining all of you in prayer while treasuring memories and kitchen laughter.
Brian and Kathy
Dot was a fine lady and advisor, always with a sense of humour. Certainly a flower to have in Alberta’s lapel. Peg and I join in regrets to her family but cheers she is now up there dancing with Jack.

Dear Rick, Dee and family-
How sorry we were to read that you lost your Mom. May memory be a special place in your hearts where you can go for comfort in the treasured thoughts of her that you hold dear.
Sincerely- Wayne and Pat, Scott, Ian and Michelle
Dear Rick and family, The Hebert family has always been very special to us. Our prayers are with you now and in the years ahead. Fondly, Sally and Gary De Man
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. We considered Jack and Dot our ‘second parents’ and fondly remember all those years when we picked them up for Mass and then off with the ‘breakfast club’ afterward.Since we are in Arizona we will not be able to attend the service. We take some comfort in knowing dear Mary, Dot and Jack are together again.
Hi Rick and Dee
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of remembrance of your mother’s wonderful life.
So many fond memories have come to my mind this past week. Dot was certainly a part of my life as I grew up in Lethbridge, and all the marvellous gatherings we had in Lethbridge and Granum.
I was blessed to have known her in my life.
