In Memory of Mabel Alderson On May 21, 2014, in her 83rd year, our precious Mom, Grannie, GG, and friend died. A woman who didn't know how to like a person, she only knew how to love. A woman who, despite her many physical disabilities, chose not to complain. A woman who made the best of every day of her life, and lived life to the fullest. She was kind and gentle. She genuinely cared about every person she met and loved them as her own. These qualities came naturally to her. Her eyes sparkled and her smile was radiant. To be held in her arms, or to hold her hand was to know you'd been touched by an angel. She knew what was important in life, and she lived her life well. She was an extraordinary woman. She continues to be our hero and role-model in life. She was a gift to us all. We miss her. Mabel was the loving wife of Clare, and mother of Craig (Glenda) and Dianne (Mark) Czerwinski. Cherished grandmother of Cori (Mike) Dodds, Kristen Alderson (Tom Knox) and Joselynn Alderson, and great grandmother to Arianna, Colin and Cameron. She will be missed by all her family in Western Canada. There aren't words to appropriately thank those who helped with Mabel's care over the years, first at home and then at Lanark Lodge. You cared for her well and you opened your hearts to her; you became part of our extended family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A "Celebration of Mabel's Life" will be held at Lanark Lodge, Perth on Monday, June 2nd, 2014. Service at 2:00 p.m. followed by refreshments. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Lanark Lodge and direct the funds to the "Extend the Pathway to the River Fund", Lanark Lodge, 115 Christie Lake Road, Perth, ON K7H 3C6. Mabel loved to walk the Tay Valley Pathway behind Lanark Lodge.
