(April 4th, 1938 - June 6th, 2015)

It's hard to believe that it has been a year since you left us.

Our mother was a shining example of strength, compassion, inspiration, honour and love.

We were grateful to call her “MOM”. She made us proud and she wasn’t only our mother but she was a grandmother, great grandmother, a dear friend to many and a loving sister.

For those who shared in our mothers life you will remember her for her great strength, pride, warmth and wisdom. We always know we could draw from her strengths whenever we needed it. This gave us all the courage to grow up and take risks and to experience life to the fullest.

Our mother's compassion and acceptance of others was so deep and she was an inspiring role model to many! She looked for the need and she filled it. She treated others with kindness, unselfishness, without cruelty, respect, sensitivity, honesty, fairness, love and many lives were blessed through her goodness.

Now our mother and role model is no longer here but we her children will continue to honour her examples of goodness and the influence of her goodness and care will become her legacy for future generations.

We still miss you day by day and you often come to mind. It’s still natural for us to think about you because our love never faded with time.

It’s hard enough to carry on each day without you but we often feel you near and we imagine the look of pride and happiness spread across your beautiful face.

Today we are sad as we lost the chance to hug you and to express all that you mean to us and today and always we will honour you during special moments for all the ways you’ve helped us succeed.

As life continues on we know that there’ll be more milestones, more celebrations and occasions when we still won’t have you here with us but with everything we do in the future you will always be with us!

Love forever and always your greatest admires your loving children, husband, grandchildren, great grandchildren, family and friends.
