Mary THOMSON

IN MEMORY OF MARY THOMSON In loving memory of Mary, a beautiful Wife, Mother and Grandmother who left us so suddenly one year ago today. Without you, Mom, our hearts are filled with deep sadness, sorrow and pain. We miss you every day, but today we celebrate your life. From you we learned love, courage, strength, integrity, determination and compassion. Mom, the love you've given is a precious gift that will last a lifetime. We remember, and always will, the happy family times together, the wonderful meals you prepared, your beautiful smile, your terrific sense of humour and endless memories of laughter and good times together. You are always in our hearts. We are better people because of the part you played in our lives. Thank you Mom for all of the beautiful memories and for touching our lives in so many ways. Afterglow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done. I'd like to leave an echo ... Whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind, when day is done. Forever in our hearts until we meet again. -We miss you and love you for ... infinity. Your husband Greg, children Craig, Carey (Carol), Mike, Lynne, Pam, Derek and grandchildren Brock and Eric XOXO Published in the Ottawa Citizen on 7/2/2005
