Condolences & Memories (13 entries)

• Dearest Family, We have all lost a dear cousin; she was by far one of the nicest cousins we had. I hold fondest memories of her helping to 'take' care of us when we were young children and lived next door to each other. My beloved cousin may your journey to God's Garden be filled with joy, laughter and sunshine. We will meet again... cousin Sattie - Posted by: Sattie Pearson (First cousin) on: Sep 19, 2013

• We had known Miriam (Shakun) for over forty years and found her to be one of the nicest person you could find. She had a heart of gold and a very pleasant personality. She was a very strong supporter of the Cosmos Sports Club. She spent many weekends with us at the cricket ground in Assiniboine Park, travelled to Tournaments, participated in numerous fishing derby and attended many banquets/socials for the Cosmos Sports Club. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared her love. - Posted by: Harry and Patricia (Moreen) Katwaroo (Friend) on: Sep 06, 2013

• I had the pleasure of working with Miriam at H.E.D. for many years. We had so much fun shopping together at lunch as Miriam always dressed in fashion and always knew where the sales were, she was such a classy lady. I will never forget Miriam's caring heart and beautiful soul. Rest in peace, my friend. - Posted by: Susan Shewchuk (friend and co-worker) on: Sep 04, 2013

• Although it has been a very long time since I have seen or spoken to Miriam "Aunty Miri" as she was best known by her sisters, brothers and all of her extended family. I wanted to share with her family one or two thoughts at this time. For myself personally I was was always so enamored by Miriam's Joy! When you look up this word enamored and its definition in the dictionary it has a simple explanation: To inspire with love; to captivate. I think this defines Miriam to her family, her friends and to those she gave care and concern to in all of her life. As well she was one heck of a dancer at the family Christmas gatherings as I can recall and I cannot forget to mention that her curry pepper sauce was out of this world!!! I knew her a very short time but she carried much advice and shared it with me at a time where my family had suffered a great personal loss of my parent, my mother's husband and my nieces and nephews grandfather after a long struggle with his own Cancer.. I recall her words and her most genuine interest in our loss was present and profound to me at that time and certainly her words made this loss far less painful to me. I wanted to be sure to send my condolences to all of her family at this most trying of times. I share some passages that I hope best describes Miriam. “To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.” “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strengths and resolutions.” When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in her may be clearer in her absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. Sadness is but a wall between two gardens. You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. So goodbye Aunty Miriam I trust that your family will forever hold you in their hearts and carry you with them wherever they shall travel. - Posted by: Danielle (past acquaintence) on: Sep 04, 2013

• Aunt miri your passing has left a void in our lives. We will miss your regular visits to guyana, where we had many laughs together, many guyanese meals together and many trips together. You were the perfect example of what a fanily oriented person was. You kept the family unit very strong with your constant contacts etc. Farewell dear aunt,go sleep in that special place the lord has prepared for you. Sadly remembered by all the relatives in guyana. Sleep on. We love you. - Posted by: rudy singh (nephew) on: Sep 04, 2013

• My dear auntie, thanks for all of the wonderful memories. I will forever treasure the songs you used to sing to us when we were kids. You were definitely fun and loving; I am certain that I can say on behalf of all your neieces and nephews that you were truly our second mother. May you have eternal peace. Love your niece, Gina (Gin). - Posted by: Gina (Neice) on: Sep 04, 2013

• Miriam and I worked together for many years. She was someone I looked up to and admired. Her strength, humor, and moral character were evident and she had a significant impact on my life. She was not only beautiful on the outside but so much so on the inside. I feel blessed to have known such an amazing person. My heartfelt condolences to her family. - Posted by: Kim LaFleche (Co-worker) on: Sep 04, 2013

• My Beloved Auntie Miri, words cannot adequately describe how much I miss you already! My heart is grieved that your time here is over but God needed you more in His presence. "It is all in God's hands" you reminded us each day...indeed!! My auntie Miriam was a truly a Biblical woman, a Proverbs 31 woman—a “virtuous or noble woman.” She was a woman of faith, beauty, and grace who was very careful to recommend herself to her family and friends, esteem and affection. She was a trustworthy woman, who took pains in her duties, and takes pleasure in them. She was careful to fill up time, that none be lost. She rose up early and applied herself to the business proper for her—to women's business. She did what she did, with all her power, and trifles not. She made what she did turn to good account by prudent management. God and one another were her motto. Her intent was upon giving not upon getting, and does it freely and cheerfully. She was discreet and obliging; every word she said, showed that she governed herself by the rules of wisdom. She not only took prudent measures herself, but gives prudent advice to others. The law of love and kindness was written in her heart, and showed itself in her speech. Her heart was full of another world, even when her hands were most busy about this world. Above all, she feared the Lord. With my Auntie Miri, beauty recommended none to God, nor was it proof of her wisdom and goodness. But the fear of God which reigned in her heart was the beauty of her soul; this will last forever. She had firmness to bear up under crosses and disappointments. She reflected with comfort when she came of age, that she was not idle or useless when she was young. She shall rejoice in a world to come. She was a great blessing to me, truly beloved and respected, wise and honourable. You were true a Biblical woman, a Proverbs 31 virtuous woman! May you enjoy the glorious presence of your God and the Lord Jesus Christ—your hope! I love you, "Jane" - Posted by: Jennifer (Jenny) (Niece) on: Sep 04, 2013
