My sincerest sympathies, to the family, on the loss of Uncle George. He always seemed to have a pleasant expression on his face and had something, interesting and funny to say. Eccliastess says there’s a time for everything, so it must be this way, for now. It is good to know, that some day, we will all meet, again, ‘In the Sweet By and By, we will meet on that beautiful shore!”, just as Uncle Ben, sang. My what a meaningful and nice funeral. (So glad we have Livestream.) Thank you to the family.
We pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time for your family! We will sure miss him! That was a beautiful service!
Thx for allowing us to watch the funeral online. It was very meaningful and brought back great memories of uncle George. I definitely have fond memories of going to your place just across the field.
It was a great funeral and would have loved to have been there. I pray that God will comfort your family and that your family will draw strength from God during the hurt and memories.
My condolences on the loss of your Dad. He was a very wise and memorable uncle. We will miss him coming down to Taber to visit Mom. (Katherina)
My heart is grieving with you all. George was such a lovely man, and I was always honoured by his interest in me, a distant relative! I cherish the memories of our visits together . He was one of my mom’s ‘favourite cousins’. On behalf of all of the Siemens relatives, I want to send George’s family sincere condolences on his death, and praise our Heavenly Father, together with you, for his life well lived! Praise to Yehovah!
We send our sincere condolences for the loss of your father. We pray that your happiest memories will help to ease your loss and strengthen you as you adjust to the changes your loss brings to your lives. God Bless you all.

We mourn with you on the passing of your father but we rejoice on his entrance to his heavenly home to join all those who went before him. May God comfort you all during this time of grief. Your dad was always my favorite uncle and my second name reflects that.
It is with sincere condolences to you as a family to have lost your dad.
We have many fond memories of him attending birthday celebrations at Ben and Mary’s.
Keep in your hearts all the great memories he has left you.
Always remembered, Forever loved ,
