Malcolm, Carla and Family,
We would like to offer our sincere condolences in the passing of our much loved and adored Aunt Bella. Allan and I drove out to Regina this past summer with mom (who now resides in a retirement residence in Ottawa). We stayed with Uncle Bill and Aunt Jean and visited Aunt Bella at the Santa Maria. She had lost considerable ground since the previous summer when I had visited her but she was still in very good spirits and knew all of us. She crossed her arms on her chest and said, "It's the Ehrmantraut Clan, I'm so excited" and we were all very excited to see her and spend time with her. Aunt Bella was the best aunt I could have ever asked for. She lived by her faith first and foremost and she was a very kind, caring, loving and upbeat individual. We will miss her terribly. No one will ever replace her and that little chuckle that she always had when you talked to her will stick with me forever. I can just imagine the party that is going on up in Heaven now that she is reunited with her mom, dad, brothers and sister and Leonard. She always took pride in showing me the family photo when I visited her and she could always name the whole family. Some things just stick with you. Sending you much love and lots of hugs during this difficult time.
Lots of Love,
Idelle Matte (Ehrmantraut), Beth and Allan Ehrmantraut
