FOUBERT, Gertrude 'Fortier' In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother who passed away twenty long years ago. A great-grandmother now of 17 great-grandchildren she would have treasured. If I had all the world to give, I'd give it, yes, and more, To hear her voice and see her smile And greet her at my door. But all I can do, dear mother, Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love, To the best mother God ever made. I like to think, when life is done, Wherever heaven may be, That she'll be standing at the door, Up there to welcome me. -Forever loved, Jackie & Harvey Laporte Published in the Ottawa Citizen on 8/11/2006
