GEDDES,
Paul
Stewart
In loving memory of Paul Stewart
GEDDES
September 24th, 1990
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glitz on the
snow.
When you awake in the morning hush, to circled birds in quiet
flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
We miss you more than words could ever say!
Love never dies, Lori, Diane, Alan and David

MacCORMACK,
Elizabeth
Ann
On July 1, 2007, Elizabeth Ann
MacCORMACK, beloved daughter of
John R. MacCORMACK,
Prof.
Emeritus of History, Saint Mary's University
and Ann Vibeke
MacCORMACK, formerly of London, England, and wife
of Paul JENKINS, died after an arduous but gallant battle against
the ravages of multiple sclerosis. Elizabeth was born in Halifax,
Nova Scotia on October 12, 1961 and after attending public schools
in Halifax and Cambridge, England, graduated in Honours History
from the University of King's College in 1983. She was active
in the media and for some time a production assistant of the
well known ATV program, Live at Five. She also strongly supported
Amnesty International.
Following her 1989 marriage to Paul they spent some five years
in Japan teaching English as a second language in Osaka where,
it may be noted, her school employed her picture to advertise
itself on subway trains. Leaving Japan, they spent time in Spain,
close to four years in Mexico, before arriving in Kensington
Market, Toronto in 2000.
Eventually her relentlessly progressing illness necessitated
hospitalization. She enjoyed the expert and loving care of the
staff of the Queen Elizabeth Centre (Toronto Rehab) before final
transfer to Saint_Joseph's Intensive Care Unit. The family would
like now to express their deep gratitude to the staffs of both
institutions, her former caregivers and particularly to Alex
GEDDES for his many visits that Elizabeth much appreciated and
to her her aunt Mary
MacFADYEN and cousins Christie and Sandy
MacFADYEN who so eased her last months.
She is survived by her husband Paul; parents; sister Kirsten
MacCORMACK
(Donald
WESTIN;) brothers Allan (Annie Yu Chen;) John
nieces Katrina, Fiona, Alison, Ai; nephews Niall, Tamaki, Chen
San; aunts Mary
MacFADYEN, Anna
GEDDES, Margaret
HODGKIN, Elizabeth
HILL; and many loving cousins in Canada, England and Denmark.
A "Remembering Elizabeth" gathering will be held at 6: 30 p.m.
on Thursday, July 5, 2007 in the Cafeteria of Queen Elizabeth
Centre, 130 Dunn Avenue., Toronto. Her funeral will take place
at a later date in Halifax. In lieu of flowers, the family would
appreciate donations in Elizabeth's memory to Amnesty International,
St. Christopher House or the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
