To the Mercer & King Family,
So sorry for your loss. Ruby was a lovely person. I remember fondly on a trip she had to Edmonton to see Cathy’s and Bills kids. They were ecstatic to have a visit from their grandmother as she was excited to visit them. My son was about 3 at the time and he cried because the girls tried to explain to him that she was not his grandmother. He asked me to ask her if she could be his grandmother too . When I brought him over and told her the story she smiled and said to him I certainly can be your Grandmother too my darling. He was delighted. Nothing she liked more than to make sure each child was included in whatever was going on. Deepest sympathy for you loss. Charmaine, Ken and Josh and family

Glenda and family,
I was very saddened to hear of your moms passing. I loved seeing your mom walk through the doors of the salon and loved our conversations while I was doing her hair. She was always so happy to talk about her family and how proud she was of each one of her children and grandchildren. All of us at Firstchoice will miss her dearly especially myself. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
