Kellendonk Letter of Support

2012-01-25T13:29:00.001-06:00

I was very distressed to read the article in the Clipper and wished to extend our support for you. It is a terrible thing to be singled out for trying to do the right thing.

We engaged the services of your company when my mother Jean Kellendonk passed away March of 2010.

Death of a loved one is difficult enough to manage without all the added issues we faced at that time. If it were not for you, your staff, compassion and the highest degree of professionalism, I don't believe we could have possibly managed under all the circumstances we faced. Your patience, kindness and professionalism exceeded standards so much that I have and will continue to share our experiences with you and your company.
We thanked you then and again now for all that you did.

Best wishes

The assistance you provided in preparing for the service was so personalized and so appreciated. The service was beautiful, we felt like you were truly there for us. The gorgeous flower arrangements, the beautiful memorial book, the lovely service cards, obituary cards, thank you cards, and your special contribution to the service were appreciated beyond words. Dick and I also want to personally thank you and your family very much for the beautiful picture of mom that you gave us. Your kindness will live on in our hearts forever.

Winnipeg Funeral Home Funeral of Doris MacDonald Testimonial

2010-12-01T11:03:00.002-06:00

Dear Sirs & Madams,

I just wished to send a brief message regarding the service for Mrs. Doris Elna MacDonald on Nov. 24, 2010

My name is John Spisich ( Toronto ), son-in-law to the deceased and brother-in-law to Joan and Maureen MacDonald, husband of Barbara MacDonald.

The presentation and surroundings at Wojciks was very appropriate, professional and memorable. Carol Richardson was absolutely professional, congenial, empathic and so much more. She even helped ( me during the snow storm ) to carry out some of the flowers and remaining food, etc. Thank you so much Carol.

A special commendation to Carol, for I know what her job entails. I was a church organist for over 15 years for Holy Rosary Parrish in Winnipeg. I have seen weddings, masses, and both open-casket and closed-casket funerals, the latter being very tough to handle for anyone who has any emotions whatsoever or has lost a loved one(s). Carol must see one or more distraught families/friends daily -- it is a very tough profession to try and remain detached. I do not envy Carol's responsibilities, but I do admire her tenacity and sincerity.

Please let her know how I feel, and let her know, in order to uplift peoples' spirits, I have a knack for inserting some humour into others' memories. Let her know the comments about the iced tea, chairs, column were purely a method of handling the emotions of the moment. I would recommend your funeral home and Carol in a moment, but I hope I never have to, if you know what I mean . . . but as they always remind us, no one lives forever and the only certainty in life is death and taxes.

Thanx for giving us a final opportunity to remember Mom and say good-bye at your chapel. It is more appreciated than you know.

John Spisich

Buss

CONSTABLE RANDAL (RANDY) SERKES RCMP

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle and Friend, Randy on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at the age of 40 years of Powerview, MB. Remaining to forever cherish Randy's memory are his loving wife Kim; daughters Jessica and Kaitlyn; parents Rudy and Pearl Serkes; brothers Robert and Terry; sister Cindy Bale (Doug); nephews Travis and Curtis; mother-in-law and father-in-law Lorraine and Jim Felde; sister-in-law Cheryl Sudbury (Rod); brother-in-law Jeff (Sherry); niece Sarah Sudbury (Adam); nephews Riley Sudbury and Nick Felde and goddaughter Mikayla Seniuk. Randy was predeceased by his and Kim's special little Angel in 2003, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Joe Dutton, and his Grandma and Grandpa Serkes. Randy was born in Pinawa on May 24, 1969, where he developed his free spirit. He was a happy child and was always ready for an adventure. He always saw the good in everyone and thrived on being the life of the party. He was a good athlete, excelling in hockey and baseball. In 1991 Randy met the love of his life Kim (nee Felde). They married in 1998 to complete their love for each other. Together they welcomed their two beautiful daughters Jessica in 2000 and Kaitlyn in 2008. Randy was a devoted Husband and Daddy, his love for his three girls was unconditional. They were the light of his life. Randy had an amazing sense of humor and will always be remembered for it. Randy's start in the work force began at Athletes Wear and later moved on to York Barbell and then Fitness Direct where he met many lifelong friends. Randy fulfilled his passion, for a life in law enforcement in 2000 after completing his course at LESTEC where he graduated with honors. He was a proud member of the RCMP, with his first posting in Grand Marais from 2000 to 2006, and then Powerview for 2006 up until the time of his passing. It is there that the Serkes Family made new bonds that Kim and the girls will hold close to their hearts forever. To Randy's RCMP family, Kim, Jessica and Kaitlyn want you to know, that without your love and support, this trying time would seem even more unbearable. Prayers will be held on Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex, 320 Veterans Lane, Beausejour, MB. Randy's funeral service will be held on Monday, October 5, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. also in the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex, with RCMP Chaplain Wayne Larstone, presider. Honorary Pallbearers will be Cst. Dave Schmidt, Sgt. Tom Cooney, Cst. Jason Nickart, Cst. Chantelle Kelly, Cst. Brian Gulay, Insp. John Duff, Cst. Joe Duncan, Cst. Lacey Clarkson, Sgt. Carl Dinsdale, and Cst. Trevor Ens. A special Thank you and much love to Gabe and Dave for going above and beyond the call of duty . In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation at 200-6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB or the Canadian Diabetes Association at 200-310 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0S6.

2009-08-22T10:26:00.002-05:00

Dear Richard and Staff

Words cannot express how grateful we are for all your care and compassion you provided our family during a very difficult time.

Our Dad was a perfectionist in everything he did, and he would have loved the meticulous planning and attention to detail that was given to all the funeral arrangements.

We thought the day of the funeral went absolutely perfect. The funeral service was beautiful and something we will remember forever. Even Dad showed his appreciation by making the rain stop at the cemetery and having the CN train drive by and give us a little honk :)

We also want to thank you for all the little 'extras' that you did...especially the free coffee mugs! It all meant so much.

From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you

Sincerely

The Family of Richard Chrusch

RCMP Winnipeg Funeral Home/Chapel Service for George Frame

2009-02-21T10:53:00.006-06:00

After a courageous battle with cancer, it is with great sadness that we announce the death of George Frame on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at the age of 72 years.
Remaining to forever cherish George’s memory are his loving wife Gayle (nee Morris) of 46 years; son Rob (Carole), grandchildren Austin, Hayley and Ryan; his daughter Meredith; his brother Alex (Dyanne); brother-in-law Peter (Terri); and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father George and mother Susan.
George was born in Coatbridge, Scotland and emigrated to Canada with his family, at age 13. He graduated from Winston Churchill High School in Scarborough. At age 18, he joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He served in numerous postings in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories before returning to Virden, MB., where he met his wife, Gayle. They were married in 1962 and over the next six years had their two children. After postings in Ontario and Manitoba, he retired from the RCMP after proudly serving for 35 years.
After retirement, George worked for several years at St. Charles Country Club, which helped improve his handicap. He also belonged to the RCMP Veterans’ Association from the time he retired until the date of his death. His love for the game of golf and the RCMP, inspired him to work alongside a close friend each summer in organizing the “Farmer Fred Slain Peace Officer’s Golf Tournament” at Warren, Manitoba. For many years, George attended the Manitoba Moose hockey games as a season ticket holder, was also an avid reader and never left a crossword puzzle unfinished.
A celebration of George’s life will be held on Saturday, February 21 at 2:00 p.m. in the Ness Avenue Baptist Church, 2700 Ness Avenue. Interment will take place at the RCMP cemetery in Regina, SK at a later date.
Special thanks to Drs. Milner, Lee, Harris and McClure, and the nursing staff at Grace Hospital and Riverview, as well as many dear friends, for their unwavering support through this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in George’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.

Wojcik's Funeral Home Funeral Service for Edward Dyck Testimonial

2009-02-13T15:12:00.007-06:00

Dear Richard Wojcik and Staff,

It is with real gratitude that I write this letter on behalf of myself, my family and my late husband for the respectful and competent manner in which your staff assisted us in the time of our need.

We especially wish to thank Leslie Coutts who assisted us with patience and professionalism.

An out of town guest was very impressed that when a staff person came to remove the rose, cup and photo of my husband from the table at the front, that the staff had shown a small bow of respect before gently gathering the items into a bag.

Your inclusion of a laminated copy is a very thoughtful touch.

Thank you all so much for making such a difficult, sad time a little easier

Mr. Richard and Staff

Thank you all for the wonderful services you accomplished. It was different, but exactly as we wanted.

Mr. Richard, you were an amazing back-up. Knowing you were there gave me the confidence I needed, especially that I was nervous and in fear of a coughing spell, with my still raspy voice.

A special thank s to your very patient staff who put up with my "eulogy tardiness" and still managed to make it work out perfectly.

You must all be highly efficient to have accomplished my wishes.

Many thanks to all.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cecile and Clare Brooks

May God bless you all. I wish you all a blessed Christmas with your families.

Winnipeg / East Selkirk Funeral for Elvire Clarke Testimonial

2008-12-10T10:12:00.003-06:00

Dear Richard,

I have had the opportunity of having your Home arrange both my mother's and my husband's funerals. The first time we came in contact was for my husband's funeral (Hollister Gray), and I thank the Lord for guiding my steps to your door.

Through that experience I got to know you and your family and some of your staff. There are not enough words to explain the care, compassion, and "love" that you gave my children and me at that time. You made that experience such a positive one that I decided there would be nobody else but you to do my service as well. My decision was reaffirmed when we came together again this year to do Mom's service ( Elvire Clarke).

You and your staff were so helpful and supportive. It was such an uplifting experience. You, your wife, and staff were there during these times of sadness and grief and the attention to the smallest detail will be remembered.

You allowed us to dress her and also be present at her cremation. I don't know of any other person who would give a follow-up call to see how we were coping. My sister was also so impressed with Mom's arrangements and service that she also is considering you to do her service as well.

I would highly recommend you to other people because from personal experience you and your staff did one terrific job. It's not difficult to say you and your family are now part of our family and that is why I refer to you as "son".

You are truly spreading God's love through the supportive work you do for each and every family who comes your way. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to your warm caring staff.

Sincerely,
Arlette Gray & Family
