Fondly Remembered… A week ago today, many family and friends gathered in Cook’s Chapel to bid farewell to a much loved lady, Ellen Balmer. A memorial table with personal items and vintage nursing alumnae photos was a reminder of years gone by… her son, Jim, spoke of the love of a mother and the years growing up with two older brothers – this was complimented by a familly video tribute reflecting her life. Celebrant Getz shared in the hope for a life beyond this life and reminded everyone to take the time and to do and say what is important in your life. Further memories were shared during the time of fellowship the followed.
Part of our lives
For a brief time,
Part of our
Hearts forever.
Her Life Lived…
Her Life Cherished…
Her Life Honoured.
