JOCELYNE EWART (nee MARCHAND) With sorrow in our hearts, we announce the passing of Jocelyne on March 20, 2008. She is lovingly remembered by her son Robert; sisters Claudette, Diane (Gabriel) Chiola; brother Ronald (Ila) Marchand; and several nieces, nephews and friends. Jocelyne truly was a kind, gentle and generous person who, as humble as she was, will be missed more than she would have ever imagined. She was dedicated to her family and was always there for them during the sunshine and clouds. Special thanks to the remarkable staff at the Jocelyn House who treated her with such caring and compassion over the past many months, and to family physicians, Dr. R. Albak and Dr. M. Kristjanson. In accordance with Jocelyne's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private celebration will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Jocelyn House, 177 Egerton Rd., R2M 2W7. Shed not tears upon me, but sing of harvest and the winepress; Utter no sigh of agony, but draw upon my face with your Finger the symbol of Love and Joy. Disturb not the air's tranquility with chanting and requiems, But let your hearts sing with me the song of Eternal Life; Mourn me not with apparel of black, But dress in colour and rejoice with me; Talk not of my departure with sighs in your hearts; close Your eyes and you will see me with you forevermore. by Kahlil Gibran
