Michelle's greatest hope is that Canadian public health care will be saved and remain intact. VOTE! by Michelle, with love OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY Pleasant in manner, patient in pain, our loss is your eternal gain. Your cheery ways and smiling face, are a pleasure to recall; you had a kindly word for each, and died beloved by all. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep.
