Stephen William Cartmel, of Ladysmith, BC, was born on July 8, 1982 in Nanaimo, British Columbia and passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 202 at the age of 39 years.  Deeply loved and missed by his mother Barbara Aitken; father James Cartmel; siblings Lauren, Carly, Simone and Tai; Aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. We will miss his contagious laughter and light that would fill a room. Anyone who knew Stephen knew that was he was a DJ and Chef by passion, serious foodie and devoted Pomeranian dad. Stephen lived a full and vibrant life with more friends than you could count. Stephen, for the rest of our lives, we will constantly keep looking for moments filled with memories of you. Until we meet again, we know Bishop and Ivy are waiting for you. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Glenhaven Memorial Chapel, 1835 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

In his latest book, Coming Back Stronger, Syd Reimer highlights 14 years of working in the Rosenort Lumber Yard, 14 years with the Manitoba Disaster Service Board, and 11 years as an owner of GK Braun Insurance. A financial advisor for 45 years, 14 of which were with Investors Syndicate. Syd Reimer was involved with the Mennonite Disaster Service for 30 years, over 20 in leadership. 45 years as a pilot gives for many interesting stories that he shared in a previous book, My Flying Journey.

Syd Reimer was twelve years old when his mother, Elizabeth (nee Kehler) Reimer died. Five months later his father married Marie Brandt, a woman from Rosenort, MB. A troubled, hurting boy that was very lonely, soon afterwards spent two years working for MCC in Mexico. His father put him in a boarding school at Steinbach Bible School for grade nine. As the years passed, Syd found peace with God, and true love when he met and married Helen. Together they have had much joy, faced hardships, natural disasters, and several times, great tragedy. Each time, they have found strength in their relationship with God and rebuilt their lives, Coming Back Stronger.

Taunte Marie

Although I am not much of an educated historian, it appears to me that today’s Berliner Kehler family does not have a great deal of information about Maria S Kehler (Taunte Marie).  Perhaps the greatest challenge lies in the fact that she died at an early age of 23, in childbirth of her twins, Jacob and Heinrich on February 21, 1909. Maria’s only daughter Anna Ethel Kehler Penner was one and a half years old upon her passing, and Tante Marie’s husband Abram (Abraham) Henry Penner remarried but passed away 10 years later, from Typhoid Fever on November 19, 1920 in Medicine Hat, AB.
