A SIMPLE AND POIGNANT OBITUARY

I came across this in the Waterloo Region Record a couple of days ago. It struck me not only for the theme, but also the beautiful simplicity in which the notice was written. And yes, it brought a few tears to my eyes. Why not select "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" (The Beatles), song number 6 on the Popup player above, and read the following quote...
"With one silent Canadian J - stroke, Barb has propelled her canoe away from the shore and is paddling off on her next journey guided by another hand."

  1. Yeah, you got me there my friend. My wifes sister lost her battle with breast cancer six months ago... second time round, first in '04, then again in '09. I do whatever it takes to help save the "ta ta's" now!
