ABBOTT, Saille Brock
On June 16, 2008, Saille passed away at home after a lengthy bout of cancer, a recurrence of her previous episode in 2006. Her extraordinary courage, grace, humour and wisdom throughout her ordeal was an inspiration to her family and her many Friends from Canada, the U.S.A. and Europe. Her life philosophy was to live in the present, live one day at a time, and to find joy in every day regardless of the circumstances. She was at peace when she died, firm in her belief that she had lived her life fully and with no regrets for any of the decisions that she had made in her lifetime. Saille was born on December 3, 1962 in Montreal. Her early education took place in Montreal, Edmonton and Brentwood, B.C.. She graduated from Queen's University (Kingston) in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts and Physical Health and Education. Saille's work immediately after graduation involved Sport Canada and a number of sport/athletic associations. Later, as a social justice and health research facilitator, her work took her to Charlottetown, Ottawa and Toronto. Still later in 1996, Saille attended the Tamalpa Institute, California, where she studied expressive arts therapy (movement-based) to realize one of the abiding passions in her life. Saille taught expressive movement classes in Vancouver and led a communitybased improvisational movement group dedicated to social justice issues. Most recently, Saille was studying in the United Kingdom to become a Buddhist minister. Saille was known for the love, care and compassion that she showed to her immediate family, to her nieces and nephews, to all her Friends and to virtually everyone that she met. Starting at a very early age, Saille devoted considerable time to caring for the physically and mentally disadvantaged. Her ability to connect and communicate with people in all walks of life was legendary. She encouraged compromise, openness to new ideas, support for the underdog and generosity of spirit. And she taught us so much by example. She is survived by her mother and father, Wendy and John ABBOTT, her sisters Heather, Jennifer and Andrea, by her nieces and nephews Zoe, Sam and Joshua ABBOTT- TAIT/TAITE/TATE, Weston ABBOTT- ARCAN, and Jessa and Tahlea BALINT, and by her brother-in-law Ian TAIT/TAITE/TATE, Sean BALINT, and Matthew HART. She will be sorely missed by all and forever remembered for her loving care and wisdom. The Celebration of Saille's life will take place on Friday, June 20 starting at 3: 00 p.m., at the family home at 18863 Centreville Creek Road in the Town of Caledon; telephone (905) 584-1326. Friends and family are most welcome. Please no donations or flowers, but Saille has requested that each should do something that will bring joy to a friend, a neighbour, or someone in need. From Saille: ' -- and so my dear Friends, I hope you will each choose to journey with me on your own ride, walk, jump, dance, skip of this one wild and precious life that we have each been given. I will meet you there -- '
