Irene DOSANJH Obituary

DOSANJH, Irene (nee Rampersad Sookoo) - After a short illness, Irene passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 15, 2012 with family and loved ones by her side at Sunnybrook Health Centre at the age of 66. She will be deeply missed by her loving and devoted sons, Richie (Joscelyn) and Rojars (Vicky Parsad); her grandsons Gavin and Kyle; Jagdev Dosanjh; sisters Icyl (Francis Mohammed), Iris (late Ramsaran Balram), Sybil (Pooran Nanan) and Iro (Stephen Ayoungchee); brother Alvin (late Elizabeth); and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews around the world. A faithful member of her church, The Potter House Christian Centre, Irene treasured the close relationships forged there and was much loved in return. Born and raised in Trinidad, Irene moved to Canada in the early 1970s. She had a true zest for life, taking nothing for granted and living every day to its fullest. Selfless to a fault and with a smile always on her face, she was devoted to her family and made friends wherever she went. She was surrounded by love every day of her life and now will live forever in our hearts. Visitation will be held at the Glendale Visitation Centre, 1810 Albion Rd. (corner of Albion Rd. and Hwy. 27, 416-679-1803) on Thursday, December 20th from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. A Funeral Service to celebrate her life will be held at Potter House Christian Centre, 6915 Dixie Rd. S., Mississauga, on Saturday, December 22nd at 11:00 a.m. Cremation to follow. The family thanks the tremendous doctors and nurses in Sunnybrook's Cardiovascular Critical Care Unit for their kindness, compassion and care. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Sunnybrook Foundation or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Richie & Jos,
There are no words to truly express how sorry I am for your loss. Your mother had a kind and beautiful soul. I know she would have been a wonderful grandmother for Gavin. My thoughts are always with you.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me"

Aunty Irene, will always be remembered as "the aunty who always had something to give". We have countless things that she has blessed us with.
I remember her buying a big watermelon, saying it was too big for her to eat alone, so she shared half with us. So sweet!

Countless times we would come home greeted by a parcel @ our front door; it was from Aunty Irene. Roger would drop off stuff, people would deliver stuff; it was from Aunty Irene.

We will miss her so ,so much....., but we will dance with her on the golden streets one day.

Hallelujah!

GOD HAS AN ANGEL TODAY

Our dear friend Irene
We hold you in high esteem
Especially in Endoscopy
You are our Volunteer Queen!

Your assistance, we truly appreciate
Your presence, we eagerly anticipate
Every Wednesday, snow or shine
You serve with diligence every time

Your gentle words of encouragement
Always very supportive and kind
Equally to both staff and patient
You are truly unique, one of a kind

Wear a smile, change the situation
Be full of joy, have a pleasant disposition
A positive influence for all of us
Your laughter, it is contagious

Spontaneously bursting into song
That can never be wrong!
If caught in the right mood?
Throw in a couple dance moves

God-fearing and loving, it's great
You willingly share from your plate
A shoulder massage, the magic touch!
A great sense of humor, thanks so much

When you walk into a room
There is no space for gloom
All encompassing smiles and happiness
As you share your inner radiance

I once said “you take care of me like a mother”
Your reply “That is so sweet of you, it is my honor that you can think of me as your mother”
That day my ‘Honorary Mum' was born




These are some of the things I'll treasure
My travel buddy, your words, I'll remember
Take a walk around Professor's Lake
Stays active, its good, don't procrastinate!

What a book you have written!
Full of love, joy and laughter
Giving, sharing, living for tomorrow
Valuable life lessons for us to follow

You are special, the best
You will live in our memory
In our hearts, you shall rest
Indeed you have left us your Legacy

Your work here is done
A new journey has begun
An Angel in heaven
Blessings, My Honorary Mum!

Miss Irene, my friend, farewell
You stand in the stairwell
Of his presence divine
Let your light shine

You answered this time
Wrote your famous last line
The ultimate chapter,
In this Book of your Life

“I love you, goodbye”






I love you my Friend, my ‘Honorary Mum'
Goodbye and May your lovely Soul
Forever Rest in Peace.

Auntie, your love and warmth and encouraging words will be dearly missed. I'm am very saddened at the fact that you are no longer here to grace us with your sweet, fun-loving spirit. You were taken away from us far too early and now we are left to grieve your loss. We have truly lost a rare gem in today's day and age and the impact of that will be felt to very many and for a very long time. You will be so grately missed, words cannot describe. Love you so much auntie. Thank you for teaching me how to stay strong and how to keep the faith through many adversities. You are a wonderful example of a faithful woman of God. And I take comfort in knowing that you are with our Father and that we will meet again. Thank you for all you have done for us and for all that you were. You will never be forgotten. God bless your soul and rest in peace. ? Sending out loving prayers to the family at this time. ?
