I loved to laugh and had so much laughter thanks to my loving family and dear friends. I believed You have earned this day on earth if you have made someone smile . I loved my home in the country, flowers, gardening, golfing, and birds - especially chickadees. Taking pictures of all the things I loved was also very special to me. Grandchildren pictures are the best. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. In accordance with my definite wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held. I ask instead that you remember me with my family or a friend and share a few laughs and I hope I have provided you with some during my stay on this earth. I also ask that you remember the following: You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I travelled on alone. Thank you for being a special part of my life. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk, in care of arrangements.
