She will be missed

Just back from the memorial service for Elisabeth. Elisabeth Calder Childs, now to be remembered along with Francis Dykes and Raymond Kayser. The 5 and under Women's Challenge will now be the Childs Challenge.

A wonderful, thoughtful and uplifting service. Grandkids spoke and sang. Ned and Star gave wonderful eulogies. There was a lot of laughter and some tears. Folks from near and far attended. The church was overflowing.

The altar was decorated with the things she loved the most, pansies, a curling rock and a small pine tree.

It won't be the same going to a bonspiel at Norfolk without her sitting in the warm room. Thanks for allowing us to stay at Coolwater when we visited. And yelling at us for smoking.

Rest in peace.
