Sandra - my heart is with you. I am so very sorry to hear this news. We are never prepared. I hope this parable of immortality will provide some comfort and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely Shari A Parable of Immortality I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, “There she goes!”. Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the places of destination. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There she goes!”, there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!” By Henry Van Dyke

Uncle Don, Sandra, and family: We were upset to hear that Aunt Eileen was not well and even more upset to find out that she had passed away. While we were fortunate to have her with us as long as she was, it is very difficult to cope with the overwhelming sense of loss, especially since she was the last surviving of the 10 aunts/uncles. While its hard for me...I am sure that it is even harder for you since she was your wife/mother. I have many fond memories of Aunt Eileen and her wonderful laugh. I remember a trip to Toronto years ago, at my request, she was trying to help me lose weight by introducing me to the food plan of weight watchers. I can still see her telling me how many cherry tomatoes I could have and me thinking that I was going to starve; but I always remember how she tried to help me (I was so chubby then) and that particular memory is very precious. I was looking forward to seeing and hearing her laugh again this summer; and it is with sadness that I will now have to rely on my memories of her; but I am thankful for the memories that I do have of her! Sadly, David is out of work right now; and because of the distance it is not possible for me to attend her funeral; but I am there with you in thought. Big hugs to all of you.
