.Last Thursday in Cook’s Chapel, family and friends shared some of their many stories with one another as they gathered in remembrance of Emil Kuntz. As friends entered Cook’s Chapel, some could be heard commenting, “Look at that! Isn’t that fitting… his favorite hat!” Deacon Olson led the service and offered a comforting message to all those present…the beautiful fall colors of Hillside Cemetery provided a peaceful backdrop as everyone offered a final farewell while placing their rose at Emil’s grave.He was a wonderful man,
With a trademark laugh…
He left his mark on this world
With dignity and class.
His Life Lived…
His Life Cherished…
His Life Honoured.

Monique was born in Heppignie, Belgium on February 2, 1947. She married Larry Roberts on March 6, 1966 in Belgium and two days later she arrived in Canada ready to start her new life. She first stayed at the family farm near Cardston where she enjoyed the company of Larry’s younger brother and sisters.

In September of 1966, she attended beauty school in Lethbridge where she picked up more English from the other girls at the school. In 1972, they moved to Medicine Hat and three years later she became a foster parent. Looking after children became Monique’s purpose in life and during the 35 plus years of fostering, she was a mother to some 113 children, some for only a short time and others for four to five years. After she retired from fostering, looking after her grandchildren became her passion. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandma and became a great-grandma.
