As were his wishes, cremation has taken place. If desired, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Nicholls Funeral Home. The Tree in the Winter My father seems so strong Not big or huge Just stable and strong. He seems to be anchored His roots run deep Drawing no attention to himself. He is like a tree in the winter Often overlooked Standing strong Quietly anchored Always silent Yet deeply communicating There is no uncertainty Really no reason to notice Unless you are observant of reality. If you are looking for colour and drama The tree in the winter is not even seen. How unfortunate It contributes so much to go unnoticed. I'm glad I took the time to see the tree So much like my father. We love and miss you always, Gordon, Billy, Marc, Ernie Jr., Melissa, Lisa, Michelle 10962351
