Funeral services were held in Norway House on Friday, March 27, 2009 at the St. Mark's Anglican Church with the Rev. Lawrence Apetagon presiding. The family extends its deepest gratitude to the many people who in any way contributed during this time of our loss. Your acts of kindness, your songs, and your caring and support were greatly appreciated. God took the fragrance of a flower; The majesty of a tree The gentleness of morning dew; The calm of a quiet sea The beauty of the twilight hour; The soul of a starry night The laughter of a rippling brook; The grace of a bird in flight Then God fashioned from these things; A creation like no other And when his masterpiece was through; He called it simply - Mother
