GERTRUDE RUTH CYR April 1, 1929 - January 22, 2006 A kind and Brave Heart has left us. Peacefully at home on January 22, 2006 at the age of 76, Mom passed away. She will be sadly missed by her children, Harry, Wayne (Diana), Jack (Geraldine), Murray, Ron (Cindy), Gary (Ida), Keith, Linda (Ron), Mike and Carol (Kerry). As well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom was predeceased by her husband Albert in 1985, her daughter Maryann in 2004 and her son Robert in 1963. Mom was born in 1929 in Moncton, NB. She moved to Winnipeg in 1954 with her husband Albert and her three children. She went on to have nine more children and had a busy life raising them. Mom had a very big heart and loved spending time with family. No words can express how much we will miss her! We did not see you close your eyes, Did not hear your last faint sigh, We only heard that you were gone, Too late to say goodbye. We never ask for miracles, But today just one would do, To see the door push open, And see you walking through. If we could have one lifetime wish, A dream that could come true, Mom, We wish with all our hearts, For yesterday and you! For you who have a Mother, Cherish her with care, You'll never know the heartache, Until you see her empty chair. To those whose lives she touched her memory will always remain. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service to celebrate our Mom will be held on Friday, January 27 at 11:00 a.m. in the E. J. Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald St. The Coutu family in care of arrangements: E. J. COUTU FUNERAL DIRECTORS 680 ARCHIBALD ST. 253-5086
