ASH Cecil Fitzgerald It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cecil Fitzgerald Ash on the morning of July 21, 2008 at the age of 73. He will be dearly missed by his wife Teresa, children Randy (Heather), Jennifer, Melanie, Kristina, sister Lorna, half-brother Mikey, 5 grandchildren, niece, nephews and numerous friends and colleagues. Cecil was predeceased by his mother Verna Cummings, father Ralph Ash and beloved grandmother Gertrude (Mudsy) Brooks. Cecil was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad on November 28, 1934. Amongst his numerous achievements and accomplishments Cecil completed degrees in both teaching and law at UBC. Cecil donated much of his time to various organizations, as not only a volunteer, but avid member most notably to the Trinidad and Tobago Society of BC. Until the time of his death Cecil continued to practice law at his firm Ash, O'Donnell, and Hibbert in Richmond and in Langley, BC. Cecil loved his trips to Mexico with his wife and family. He enjoyed walking his dogs and was an avid sports fan. A celebration of Cecil's life to be announced at a later date. Donations can be made to the Trinidad and Tobago Society of BC on his behalf. Rest, my love, rest.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you , Teresa and the family. May Cecil rest in peace in the arms our Lord. God Bless him always and forever.

When I Must Leave You

When I must leave you , for a little while,
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears,
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a galant
smile;
And for my sake and in my name ,
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness on empty days ,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never , never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky.
