Bill and Joyce Hansel continued a tradition they started several years ago. Joyce baked a birthday cake, they headed over to Musgroves on Sunday night to help young Tate Musgrove celebrate his fourth birthday. Happy birthday, Tate!

Keeping with the birthday theme; Gloria and Stan Diegel helped granddaughters Isabella (3) and Kassandra (15) celebrate their birthdays with a belated birthday party at their new home. Hosting were mom and dad (Ybiett and Wade). Wade is home on an extended break as he was one of the many workers north of Fort McMurray that had to be evacuated. Also at the party were Tasha and family (Aaron had to work) ; Richelle and Greg and Family. Happy birthday, girls!

Gloria and Ybiett, Richelle, Deanne and friend Lesley Hennel were off to Red Deer to enjoy a pedicure. They were later joined by Corina Derr and her daughters RayAnn and Shayla. It was supper at Moxie’s then on to the Long Island Medium show. Corina was enjoying a belated birthday gift from her family.

Sympathies go out to Max and Lorraine Potter on the recent passing of Max’s brother Lyle Potter. Also to his wife Joyce and their family Ron (Marilyn), Glen (Nancy), Roxie (Terry), and Lori Potter. Lyle and Max grew up north of Gadsby riding their horses to the Ingleton country school, helping on the family farm (parents Bert and Mazie). This carried on into his adult years, milking cows, haying, silaging and farming, before retiring and moving to Red Deer. Lyle and Joyce returned to Stettler recently, where Lyle passed away in heritage House. Joyce resides in Paragon Place.
