This is my father! I miss him so much!!! If my dad didn't make it to the pearly gates....none of us will! He was a kind, gentle, hard working man.....who always thought of his God and family first.My dad survived the Halifax explosion in 1917,and was a merchant marine during the second world war. He was torpedoed twice off Bermuda and servived! After the war, he was a radio operator for the Canadian Government until his retirement in 1972. He gave up everything for his family....having little money us kids always came first! My father died after suffering 6 years with cancer.Dad always went to church...I mean everyday.....on the way home from chemo he would stop for Mass at noon! My dad was a great influence in my life.....I really wish I could talk to him at certain times!He died 5 months after I had my fourth child.....I am so glad he saw them all! He will always be in my heart and someday I hope to meet him again! I LOVE & MISS YOU, DAD!!!!!!

1958-1985
This is my sister Mary Ann! Mary Ann was the third child in our family and my only sister. I was a tomboy growing up but she was "the little girl" in the family...dolls..dresses..where I was...baseballs & hockey. Mary Ann and I shared a bedroom the whole time I lived home. She was a little blonde headed skrawny sissy!!!!!That's what I thought!*S*We really weren't that close growing up but we were sisters and since we did a lot of family things....we spent allot of time together. She had beautiful, long, blonde hair. She was extremely intelligent and grew into a beautiful lady. She had everything going for her.... good looks,.good education, real good high security job with the government and single. She had lots of guys always wanting to take her out. She travelled and loved to go to Bermuda. On May 17,1985, I was nearly 3 months pregnant with a 5 & 3 year old.My oldest son wanted to phone her before she went on the big plane to Bermuda........we called her and while we were talking ..her drive arrived........That's the last time any of us ever spoke to her. See 10 hours before she was suppose to come home on May 31,she was killed in a moped accident! She was straight & sober, not an addict, like me. That was the day my world came crashing in and I never thought I'd live threw it! I'll never forget the phone call....2:20 a.m. ....Paul says "that was your mom ,Mary Ann was killed a little while ago"!!!!! See over the last 6 years of Mary Ann 's life we became very close and best friends! She was my oldest son's God Mother.It's nearly 13 years now and I still can't believe she's gone! I miss her so very, very much .How many times I have said to myself "if only I could talk to her once!".I just stare at her picture and think of such good, fun times we used to have....even though, then I thought she was a jerk! hahaha! All I can say is PLEASE appreciate every single day you have with someone......one day at a time.....you don't think it will happen to you....it does and it hurts like hell for a long long time.You do learn to live with it and put up a front but the pain always cuts deep into your heart! I miss her so very, very much! I would do anything just to see her one last time! You are always remmbered in my prayers,Mary Ann, ....Good Bye!!!!!!!!!Love Always!
Baby 1.....Sept 8/78
Baby 2.....Sept.8/84.
These are the two babies I lost. The first was an ectopic(tubal) pregnancy. The second was a miscarriage. Though only 8 week old fetuses , they are still my children and are in God's hands now........guess He needed more angels! It hurt so much to loose these children but in the big sceme of things........who am I to question God? I will always remember you and you will always be in my prayers! The good die young .....so they say....well these children must have been perfect! Some day we will meet in heaven babies! You will always be in my heart. Love Mum!
