Mom loved her weekends in the summer at Lake Nutimik and we will miss her there this summer. Mom loved her family and was always there to lend a hand or to give advice. Mom, we will miss you but you will always be in our hearts. Mom's was a life well lived. The family would like to thank the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital and especially the kind and compassionate Paramedics. In keeping with Mom's wishes cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. Flowers gratefully declined. If desired, donations may be made in Edith's name to a charity of your choice. A Mother's Love A Mother's love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may, For nothing can destroy it or take that love away... It is patient and forgiving when all other are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking... It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems... It is far beyond defining, It defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation... A many splendored miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.
