CHAMBERS,
Dorothy
Gail (née
ALLEN) September 24, 2003
It is with great sadness that the family announces the death
of Dorothy Gail
CHAMBERS, in her 56th year. Beloved mother of
Rebecca and Jesse; loyal, loving and supportive wife to Jim for
over 32 years. Gail's loving presence will be missed by her brothers
Glen and Gene and sister and brother-in-law Maureen and John
and her extended family and Friends, too numerous to name. Gail
lived fully engaged and with great humour, love and compassion
with cancer for over 13 years. This was not a battle -- it was
a co-existence with a disease that focused her energies on the
things that were important to her, family, Friends, and a profound
respect for the scared and the sacred and the spiritual, which
she found in the natural world, particularly at her cottage in
Muskoka. Gail will be sorely missed by the many Friends and relatives
she touched in her life. Particular thanks must be given to the
St. Elizabeth Visiting Nurses' Association home care who treated
her with love and respect. Special thanks to Dr. Rob
BUCKMAN
who risked the very human trait of mixing health care with compassion
and Friendship, also Dr. Molyn
LESZCZ whose compassionate counselling
helped her through the rough part of her difficult journey. Heartfelt
thanks to Dr. Angela
MAZZA-
WHELAN who was present when Gail died
in the loving embrace of her family. Thanks also to Doctors
WARR
and TOZER for their care. Also the unsung heroes of the health
care system - the nurses. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration
of Gail's life will take place on Saturday, September 27th at
2: 00 p.m. at Olivet United Church followed by a reception. Olivet
United Church, 40 Empress Avenue at Prince George Street, Hamilton.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals would be appreciated by the family.
