I wish I could be here today with you all on this sad day. Although, I’m not physically present please know that you are in my thoughts as I grieve the loss of Nan along with you. I will always remember her for her love of cooking, making sure everyone had enough to eat and always ready to give a hug as I came through the door. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered, until we meet again. I would like to share a poem with you today that I recently came across; I’m Free Don’t grieve for Nan, for now she’s free Nan’s following the path God has laid you see. She took His hand when she heard him call Nan turned her back and left it all. She could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way Nan found that peace at the close of day. If her parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things Nan too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow Nan wishes you the sunshine of tomorrow. Her life’s been full, she savoured much Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps Nan’s time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God gave Nan wings and let her fly free. Nan, For all of us you gave your best, now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you've earned your sleep, your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep… Love, Otto, Denise, Nicholas and Nathan Kingston, Ontario
