You had no use for material possessions. Your greatest joy came from seeing happiness in others. Your quiet but strong faith in God was inspirational. Your wisdom, kindness, generosity, smile, quiet contentment and wonderful sense of humour will be missed more than words can say. The best leaders lead by example and your example will never be forgotten. We are so blessed to have known you, loved you and been loved by you. Meegwetch.
