.This past Saturday, was a warm sunny day as family, friends, classmates, teachers, nurses and doctors gathered in Cook’s Chapel to show their love for the little angel who got her wings, Paige Tenborg. Tributes and stories were shared by Joan, Shawn and Kathy while Celebrant Getz took a moment and gathered the children in front of the chapel to help them realize their feelings and love for Paige. He further spoke of Paige’s unconditional love which she had for everyone, and how she was able to express that love through her zest for life. During the reception, children and adults alike had an opportunity to release a balloon with a hand written message in Paige’s memory.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place
No one could ever fill.
Her Life Lived…
Her Life Cherished…
Her Life Honoured.
