DONALDSON, Eldora
In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Eldora DONALDSON, who passed away one year ago today, January It's the small day to day things that make a life of memories. Mom loved to play cards and we miss- hours of playing "Spite and Malice" and Texas Hold'em where she "kept us honest", always stayed in to "see the river" and a "check, raise" would always be wrong. Her great grandchildren loved to play "Seven's" especially when she let them keep her winnings. We enjoyed many trips to Niagara Falls and Sarnia where the Blazing Seven's always paid off and happiness truly was yelling "Bingo". Mom loved to watch television and had many favourites- Doug misses watching all the television judge shows, in particular "Judge Judy", all her cooking shows and every episode of "Law and Order" (including all reruns). Mom had a passion for reading and we have inherited this love. This Christmas was not the same- who would break the bread for dressing (we had so much leftover this year without the dressing bandit), who would make the gravy and the rum sauce for the pudding. Curlers, tennis players (especially Venus and Serena) and many favourite figure skaters lost their biggest fan. Her determination (or stubbornness) to keep going even though most days were difficult and exhausting will always be admired. Mom, we miss you every day. Love, Geri, Janice, Larry and families.

DONELAN, June (1940-2006)
On November 17 at McMaster University Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, after a long struggle with cancer and its consequences, June departed this world on the wings of her angels. Born in London, England, June immigrated to Canada in 1965 to work as a registered nurse. June and Mark married in 1967 and lived in Vancouver, British Columbia and Cambridge, England before settling in Burlington, Ontario in 1971. With the birth of their daughter, Laura (b. 1969) and son, Maxwell (b. 1973), June thrived in her new role as a stay-at-home mom. In addition to raising a family, June was an accomplished nurse, an exceptional massage therapist, a talented weaver, an avid reader and a crossword aficionado. June and Mark lived in Miami, Florida from 1996 to 2006 before returning to Canada this year. Beloved wife of Mark, mother of Laura and Maxwell, mother-in-law to Paul and Victoria, Nana to Quinn and Indigo and friend to many, June is fondly remembered as caring, insightful, hospitable, adventurous and courageous. When asked what advice she would like to pass on to her grandchildren, she replied "always follow your own path". A memorial service will be held at Dodsworth and Brown Funeral Home 2241 New Street, Burlington, Ontario at 1: 00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 21, 2006. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made in memory of June DONELAN to McMaster Children's Hospital. The family thanks all their Friends for their kind and loving support.
