ANGELA BURLOCK Dearly loved Angela Burlock, aged 93 years, in the arms of her daughter Patricia, passed peacefully at 5:00 a.m. on December 5, 2003 at the Toronto Grace Hospital. Angelas gentle spirit and selflessness will be sadly missed by her devoted daughter Patricia Ungaro and grandchildren, Doug and Denise McDonald in Toronto, as well as her grandchildren in Winnipeg, Kim and Mitchell Burlock, her great-grandchildren, Emily and Rachel Burlock; and her son Herb Burlock. We thank the Riverview Health Centre in Winnipeg where she was initially cared for. We are grateful for the wonderful caregivers of the Toronto Grace Hospitals Palliative Ward, who helped us keep Angela comfortable and happy during her last months, and who provided smiles, laughter and support daily, to us, her family. She says... Do not stand at my grave and forever weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumns rain When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not stand at my grave and forever cry I am not there, I chose not to say goodbye. Private family service.
