Update #24, November 4, 2012

Hi everybody.

 

This will be the last update note, as Alice died this afternoon.  She was peaceful, in no discomfort and she was surrounded by family members.  We all had time to sit with her and wish her well on her journey.

 

Thanks so much for your good thoughts and prayers and visits and messages and support.  Every little bit helped and made a difference to her, and to the rest of us, too.  You kept us all going and the value of that devotion cannot be underestimated.  If it takes a village to raise a child, I think it must also take a village to accompany someone out of this life.  Well done, all of us.

 

Arrangements:  I believe that we'll be having visitation on Tuesday afternoon and evening at Betzner's Funeral Home in Thamesford.  http://www.betznerfuneralhome.ca/home.html  Directions, etc are on their website.

 

I think the funeral will be at Westminster United Church in Thamesford on Wednesday--but this has yet to be confirmed.  I'll advise as we know for sure.

 

Check the London Free Press, Woodstock Sentinel-Review and the St. Marys Journal-Argus for details.

 

I'm heading to do some laundry and to bed.  We're heading back to Embro in the morning.  Not sure when we'll be back--probably by Friday.  If you need to get in touch with us--email or Jo's cell is the way to go.

 

Thanks again, everybody.

 

love, Robin.
