Sue, It has been two years since your Mom passed away and I have only learned of it now. I am so sorry. I know how much you loved her. Please know that if I'd have known in 2013, I would have been there. Your friend always, Eilleen

Thank you for joining us today to celebrate the life of our mother. My sisters have given me the honour of speaking today. Anyone who has been in the same room with all of us speaking all at once and carrying on several conversations at the same time will truly understand the grandness of this gesture. Thank you Sisters.
From Proverbs 31:10-12 we learn: "An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life."
Dad - you found a jewel of a wife. She was trusting and loyal to you and did you good, not harm. These last ten years you have given this back to her. You have treated her gently and cherished her. When the stroke took you from her not even the power of four sisters could replace you.
From Proverbs 1:8-9: "Hear, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck."
What are the many teachings of our Mother? So many things she taught her daughters.
She taught us about sisterhood. Whenever I felt slighted by a sister Mom always had a one up story of her own, followed by a story of how that same sister supported her that somehow linked into something that my own sister had done for me. She could be angry with each of us but she hated to see us angry with each other.
With her words and with her actions she taught me that I could do anything and to face my fears. My mother taught me this even with my own birth - who else could handle a newborn at 39 in a house full of teenagers? As I grew up she continued to live these values learning to drive at 50 and quitting smoking in her sixties. I think we'll find the last pack still in her purse, just in case, but untouched. She never mastered swimming but she challenged her fear of the water time and again boating on the Ottawa, snowmobiling on the frozen or not so frozen Ottawa, taking swimming lessons and even enjoying aquafit! When I said I wanted to go to Queen's she never showed any doubt or hinted at the hard road ahead. She quelled any fears I may have had dropping me off at Frosh week by soaking in all the excitement and pointing out all the fun.
Mom taught Sue that there really is a Santa. When things get so tough, you think you could just give up, something positive suddenly happens. Sometimes it takes a while, but it will get better. She taught Sue to be tough and Sue used this in her own successful battle with cancer.
Anne learned things from her that, only now, nearing 60 she feels she is beginning to understand, about loyalty and forgiveness and what is really important in the end...family! A few years ago when mom was very sick in the hospital she asked Anne to sing the song to her that she always sang to us..."Cee, Cee, my playmate, come out and play with me, climb up my apple tree and bring your dollies three, slide down my rain barrel into my cellar door and we'll be jolly friends forever more!" We'd like to think today she is sliding down rain barrels or singing or dancing! A few days ago we were sitting with her and found ourselves sing this to mom, her smile was our reward!
Deb remembers how Mom loved to dance, vivid still are the memories of her and Dad...or Uncle Jack jiving!! Although Deb didn't say this I'm thinking this is where Debbie learned her own fine moves that I remember. Debbie learned of the blessing of sisters from Mom's stories about her own sisters. Remembering mom and her sisters, talk talk talking and laughing and even later Mom, Ceil and Millie would go for drives or rent cabins together what fun they had!
From Ezekiel 16:44 "As is the mother, so is her daughter."
I hope I can be like my mother. I hope I'll have her knack of not saying I told you so even when it was deserved. As she drove me to Queen's we passed RMC and she describe the fabulous fancy dress balls I would attend there. The teenage me responded that I'd never date one of those fascist pigs. The twenty something me planned my own fancy dress party - a wedding - in those halls. She enjoyed the party thoroughly but never said I told you so.
I see my mother in my sisters - not just their smiles.
Anne is determined to get things done. Just like Mom, she looks at the problem and gets started, working at it piece by piece.
Debbie is the glue of her family. Just like Mom, she gets all her gang together, she helps them when they need it and she celebrates their success.
Susie is passionate like Mom. Passionate like a mamma bear and not afraid to stand up to anyone who threatens to wrong those she loves.
Take a moment to think of what you have learned from this wonderful woman. Look at her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and see how she lives on.
I only saw my mother truly vulnerable once - at the funeral of her own mother. Like mother, like daughters.

HELLO MICHAEL JAMES -
3 words of greeting I always received from nita. Even though james is not to be found anywhere in my name and it was intended to get under my skin,it was always followed with a smile and a hearty laugh, so it was always O.K.
HOME MICHAEL JAMES -
3 words of an order from nita whenever she needed a drive back to the hook.
She later found her independance in her chevette. Oh how many trips to bayshore that chevette made.
BYE MICHAEL JAMES -
3 words of farewell when we left after any visit to the hook.
GOODBYE MICHAEL JAMES -
3 words I will hear no more but will miss forever.
ANNE DEBBIE SUSAN MARCY, you were all raised in difficult times by a woman who's heart was so strong that no doctor nurse or even 1/2 nurse could ever predict would put up such a valiant fight.
All my love and thoughts are with you in this time.
May memories of love and warmth be there to ease your pain. -
michael "JAMES" mcintyre a proud and honorary SANDY HOOKER
