    Dear Kelly and Angie,
    Uncle Eggert was a kind, fine man and a gentleman. We didn’t see him as often as we would have liked. Whenever he visited we so enjoyed our time with him .One of my fondest memories is visiting him and Aunt Marg in Saskatchewan with Aunt Ella and Uncle Jim.
    May God’s peace and comfort surround you and your family,
    Marion
