Dear Angie, Peggy, Virginia and Families,
Our deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. We will always remember Aunt Lena 's love of life and how happy she was with Uncle Norman, especially at the race track.
In memory, we have made a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society and we send this poem, The Last Race, by Barbara Campbell Oglivie.
THE LAST RACE
"I liked a little gamble
A bet I loved to place
A rush of the adrenaline
I loved to watch the race
I studied all the forms
Running heavy on the course
Sometimes picking colours
And I on my favourite horse
For me it wasn't gambling
It was a treasured way of life
It took my mind so far away
From trouble and from strife
So now its time for resting
I've passed the Winner's Line
Think of me a winning ticket
And how I loved this life"
Our Sympathies, Your Cousins, Joanne, Marilyn, Tore, Joe, Mona and Families
