RAYMOND CYR Peacefully on Saturday, December 31, 2011, surrounded by family, Ray of Ile-des-Chenes went to be with his Saviour at the age of 84. Ray is survived and will be missed by his loving wife and soul mate of 55 years, Anita (nee Desautels). Beautiful memories will be treasured by his children, Gerald (Kathy),Pat Wedlake (Murray) and Pauline Magel; as well as his grandchildren, Gilbert, Justin, Danielle, Kaitlin, Tyler, Chantelle and Jeremy; and step-grandchildren Kayla, Jason and Hailey. His memory will live on in his very supportive siblings, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and friends. He was predeceased by his infant daughter, Marie; his parents Ben and Juliette Cyr; his in-laws, Cleophas and Alice Desautels; his brothers Rene and Jean; and his sister Rita. Ray and Anita have truly redefined the meaning of unconditional love that will be remembered by many. Our eyes have seen what it is to truly love someone. Thankfully, all family members were blessed with the final gift of a personal farewell. Now that his life journey on earth is complete, he would say his Princess Anita was the best wife ever; committed to making his life the best it could be right to his last breath. The family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and warm thoughts during this difficult week and to the staff of Victoria Hospital, Foyer Valade and Misericordia Cornish 2 for their loving care and compassion for Dad and for us. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 10-120 Donald St., Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4G2. Funeral services will be held at l'Eglise St. Eugene (1007 St. Mary's Rd.) on January 4, 2012, with the PowerPoint and Eulogy at 10:30 a.m., followed by the Mass at 11:00 a.m. Private family interment will be at a later date. LECLAIRE BROTHERS in care of arrangements, 775-2220
