LENORE RAMOS (nee GRAYDA) With the deepest sense of loss, we announce our beloved Lenore Ramos passed from us on Monday, September 23, 2002, at the St. Boniface General Hospital. Overwhelming in her generosity of deed and spirit, Lenore will remain a vital part of so many lives, and be dearly missed by countless family, friends and patients she touched over the years. Left to cherish Lenores memory are her husband Rollie; daughters, Kathy (Paul) Magnaye, Jaimie and Chantal; and grandchildren, Aaron and Lauren. She was predeceased by her son Jonathan in 1979. She is also survived by her parents, Dominador and Silvina Grayda; sisters, Emma Ongsansoy, Lisa Deakin, Naty (Rickey) Ramnarinesingh and Noemi Pinkerton; brother Andro (Pura) Grayda; numerous nephews, nieces and extended family; and many friends and co-workers. Born April 21, 1958 in Manila, Philippines, Lenore im migrated to Canada in 1971. She attended Aberdeen Junior High and St. Johns High School in Winnipeg. She married Rollie, after a whirlwind romance, on October14, 1975. In 1982, Lenore obtained her LPN diploma from the St. Boniface School of Nursing. The beneficiaries of this were the innumerable patients, their families, doctors, fellow nurses and other colleagues she assisted in her 20 year career as a licensed practical nurse. There wasnt a single person who Lenore could not make an instant impression on, either through her quick wit, her infectious laugh, or her sincere nature. Through her brief but brave fight with stomach cancer, it was clear that Lenore was much loved. Her family wholeheartedly thanks her co-workers at Holy Family Nursing Home, who showered her with support and encouragement, and also extends its gratitude to all of her friends and former colleagues from Seven Oaks General Hospital, for their thoughts and prayers. HER JOURNEYS JUST BEGUN Dont think of her as gone away - her journeys just begun; life holds so many facets - this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know, today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched... for nothing loved is ever lost - and she was loved so. Special thanks also go to the caring staff of the 7AW, 5AS, 5ECU and Palliative Care and Pastoral Care units at St. Boniface Hospital. Prayers will be held on Friday, September 27 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the chapel of Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St. A funeral service to mourn the loss, recount the life and honour the memory of our dear wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend will be held on Saturday, September 28 at 10:00 a.m., also at the chapel. All are welcome. Flowers are gratefully declined. Instead, donations may be made to a trust fund for her granddaughter Lauren Magnaye, in care of Kathy Magnaye, 251 Templeton Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2V 1S1. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN EDEN FUNERAL HOME 4477 MAIN STREET 338-7111
