Those we love dont go away, They walk beside us everyday, Unseen, unheard, but always near. You went through so much in silence, Your spirit didnt bend, You faced your pain with courage, Until the very end. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didnt go alone, For part of us went with you, The day Creator called you home. A heart of gold stopped beating, Working hands at rest. Leaves and flowers may wither, The golden sun may set, But the hearts that loved you dearly, Are the ones that wont forget. WE LOVE YOU MOM Wake services will be held at house #306 South Shore across from the Smoking Tipi at Sagkeeng First Nation. Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 17 at 2:00 p.m. from the St. Alexander Roman Catholic Church, Ft. Alexander, MB. Interment will follow in the parish cemetery. Pallbearers will be her granddaughters, Marissa Bruyere, Leanne Bruyere, Stacy Bunn, Anissa Bunn, Neena Fontaine-Ellis and Deyra Fontaine.
