2007 ~ JOSHUA KIM ~ 2017
Joshua Im Kim of Medicine Hat, passed away tragically on Friday, February 17th, 2017 at the age of 9 years. Joshua leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Jiyoung Kim (AJ) and Jayoung Im (Jodee); and his sister, Joy Min-ah Kim. He was predeceased by his great grandparents. Joshua was born on December 13th, 2007 and was diagnosed with Lesch-nyhan syndrome. He was a kindhearted, always forgiving boy whose contagious laugh, giggle and smile could warm everyone’s heart. He had the best smile ever in the world. Joshua was fighting his own struggles and always had a warm spirit. He loved big trucks and machines and would throw his arms up in excitement. Joshua would turn his head while in his wheelchair so he could always see his dear sister, Joy. As his life mattered to so many, his passing brings so much sorrow. The reality of his peace and freedom now lies in Joshua’s own belief in Jesus. Joshua was an angel. He will now be playing freely. Joshua’s passing brings so much pain and sorrow to our hearts. He will be forever missed. Thank you for being our son, Joshua. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at SAAMIS MEMORIAL FUNERAL CHAPEL, #1 Dunmore Road SE, on Friday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held at HILLCREST EVANGELICAL MISSIONARY CHURCH, 3785 – 13th Avenue SE, on Saturday, February 25th, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Mark Bolender officiating.

She was the only child born to Lance and Dorothy Brown on, December 31, 1931, Rosemarie was the apple of her parent’s eyes and was raised on their ranch in the Elkwater area. In her younger years, Rosemarie enjoyed horseback riding, her many pets and adventures with her friends on the surrounding ranches. She had many stories of innocent mischief and fun as they kept themselves occupied out in the country. Rosemarie attended school in Albeck in the milder months when she could ride her horse the three and a half miles. In the winter months when the ranch was snowed in, she lived and went to school in Medicine Hat.

They continued to live at the ranch until 1995, when they moved back to Medicine Hat. While at the ranch, Rosemarie played a big part in compiling and entering the many stories on the computer, documented in the Cypress Hills County Historical Book. Her love hate relationship with computers began sometime in the 80’s and that relationship continued, literally until days before her passing. In her senior years and after the passing of her beloved husband, Dave; Rosemarie continued to enjoy a good game of cards, solving crossword puzzles, visits from any of her family and a good laugh even if it was at her own expense. A straight shooter, Rosemarie was not one to mince words, she would call it as she saw it. Her sharp mind and sense of humor were constants throughout her life and present even in her final words to her family, all of whom loved her and will miss her dearly. Rosemarie’s memory will be treasured in the hearts of her children; L. Craig (Cathy) Hogg and their children, Cody (Penny) Hogg, T.J.
