When the time came We suffered too. For you never deserved What you went through. God took your hand, And we had to part. He eased your pain But broke our hearts. If you could have spoken Before you died These are the words You would have replied. This life for me Has truly passed, I have loved you all Till the very last. Weep not for me. But courage take And love one another For my sake. Christina (Sanderson) Vick married Victor Ledius Vick They had four children. Gerald, Garnette Vick Murphy, Deloris and Dorothy. *********** Christine's given name was Zelma Christine Sanderson. She was the second oldest of six children to bless the home of Ole & Emma Sanderson. The children were all born on the family farm at Forbes, So0uth Dakota, USA. Her birthday was March 8, 1897. About 1910, they moved to Saskatchewan, Canada and settled in a farming community near Assinaboia. Their home town was Vantage. Here the children all went to school and had to learn English as they had all been good Scandinavians up to this point. When Christine was about 15 or 16 years of age she got a job in a local telephone office as a switchboard operator. She learned quickly and liked the work so after a short time she felt that she was experienced and so applied for a job in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. This was a much bigger switchboard and she used to tell that she didn't know what experience meant until she had worked there for quite some time. In 1918 she me and fell in love with an American soldier by the name of Victor Vick. They were married in her family home in Vantage, on September 14, 1918. Christine continued working and Victor became a local linesman. During this time their first two children, Gerald and Garnette were born and they worked at La Fleche, Ogema and Hatten. In 1927 along with many other families, they moved to the Peace River country in Alberta. A large lake just east and north of Grande Prairie had been drained by the government to make more available farming land. Due to extreme frost the drains froze so the experiment was a failure. During this time the Vick family lived at Sexsmith but later moved across the mighty Peace. Over the next several years, they lived at Blue Hawk, Last Lake and Deer Hill. Two more daughters, Deloris and Dorothy were born in the 1930's and made the family complete. In 1960 Christine and Victor sold the farm and moved to Fairview. Victor passed away in 1971 and Christine continued to live in their home until such time that her health did not permit her to live alone. She then moved into the Fairview nursing home where she has resided until she entered the hospital on February 28. She will long be remembered for her musical talent and for her hand crafts. She loved people and loved having company in her home. The coffee pot was always brewing and the door open. Her home was a place of fun music and love. Christine loved her church and her God and has served Him well. The following is a poem written by Garnette's 15 year old granddaughter, Christine for her great grandmother when she was in the hospital. It arrived by special delivery but after her great grandmother had passed away. She wrote the poem for her. Morning Reflections By Chrissy Dobbyn The sun scratched its reflection, Into the water's glassy surface, Morning rays surfed in, On the Ocean waves. The world awoke and embraced, The day with the cheerful song Of birds and the laughter of children. Dawn had come with, The promise of a new day. And the hope of a happy tomorrow. Note from Dave Brisbin – grandson-in-law Grandma was a real encourager and she encouraged me many times. Certainly this verse applies: Rev 14:13 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours and their works to follow them.
