My Grandmother's hands. Always busy, always working. Tending, mending, holding, loving. They brought comfort and warmth, encourgement and support, acceptance and understanding. Treasures large and small; from each square that is in my quilt, to her last letter to me. Thank you, Grandma, for the love, peace and joy you brought to all our lives.

To Mother's family, friends, and co-workers: The body may be out of reach but the spirit will live in our hearts forever. YOu were not only my mother, but my longest living best friend. I will miss our conversations, our singing together, your words of wisdom, your laughter, and your warm welcomes when I came home. I love you Mother. SAG

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. It was a great pleasure to have been with my sister, Alice, to honour this great lady and the years of giving on Earth. She is still giving, only the realm has changed.
