ERNEST MOTT It is with great sadness and sorrow that the family announces the sudden passing of Ernie Mott on Wednesday, November 17, 2004. Ernie leaves to cherish his many memories, his beloved wife of 58 years, Shirley; his children, Cheryl (Ed), Susan (Ken), Allan (Grace), Laurie (Bill), Linda (Hans), Janet (Tony) as well as numerous grandchildren and a great-grandchild. Ernie was born May 31, 1924. He worked for the CNR for 44 years and was a member of the Masonic Temple and the Fort Rouge Legion. Ernie was a superb winemaker, champion Risk player, and a Jack of all trades, whether mechanics, carpentry or errand running. He would help anyone anytime and was a great friend and neighbor. What he loved best was his family, Eva Lake and inventing personal nicknames. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family service was held. Thanks to Dr. Casey Woo, the paramedics, and the St. Boniface Hospital Chaplain for their kindness and compassion. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made in Ernests memory to the Winnipeg Humane Society or a charity of choice. THE BROKEN CHAIN We little knew that morning; God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, Youre always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. We love you, Dad.
