Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Auntie Thora was such a great example of Christian faith and perseverance, and a favorite of my mom, her youngest sister. My mom was so thankful for the trip they took together to Norway, and now they are together in heaven. Great memories! Auntie Thora remained "youthful" longer than anyone I ever knew. May we all live up to the example she set in so many ways.

Kind, sweet spoken, God loyal, infectious smile, gracious, humble in spirit, loved to sing, deligent in everything she put her hand to, generous, full of life and love.......precious Auntie Thora. I'll always cherish her last trip to visit Mom here in our Kingston home. It was an honor and privilege to listen and watch Thora, Arna and Mom share private memories only their generation lived and experienced. Their loyalty to family stayed true throughout their lives....no matter what challenges were faced. What a rich, rich heritage our family has in Christ. Our heartfelt sympathy to Carman, Alida and families. Love to all, Vergena and Paul

Auntie Thora.....one couldn't help but be drawn to your twinkly-talkative eyes and sweet-girlish smile. Your inner strength and towering stature was remarkable for such a petite human vessel. Thank you for your wisdom and Christian example to the Waag family, simple and enduring...you loved our Lord. You are rejoicing...reunited with Uncle Pat and those who have gone before you. May God continue to bless our families! With Sympathy...Aline & Rick
