Dear Pat,
I, along with all of my family were very sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. We want you to know that our thoughts are with you at this sad time. You will miss her as she will miss you - but we know you'll find ways to keep her close in the days ahead. She must have been a truly special lady - we know this because you are so truly incredible yourself. Will be in touch and sending thoughts to you and all your family in the meantime. Take care of yourself and know that we care...

In memory of a loving Aunt.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I met Ila many years ago at Renfrew United Church and found her an enthusiastic, caring person. She was tiny but mighty. I was not surprised to read of her many accomplishments. I also met her daughter Pat a number of times at Renfrew UC and could tell that Ila had a caring and loving family. My sympathy to you all.

Our heart felt condolences to all. I will always have such great memories of Auntie Ila, laughing away and chatting up a storm. She will be sadly missed. Hang in there and remember all the happiness she gave to her children and family.
Love Cousin Doug Hartley, Yunhee, Alice and Henry
