KAY—In loving memory of Kenneth.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried,
If love alone would have save you,
You would have never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one can ever fill.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice from our love is stilled,
A place in our vacant home,
Which never can be filled.
Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more,
But in our memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
With which we never part,
God has you safely in his keeping,
But we have you forever in our hearts.
Lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad.

Adine▼
Denise▼ "
Dids▼" (née
OLAND)
Of Vancouver, British Columbia passed away peacefully on Tuesday
evening January 22, 2008 surrounded by and in the company of
her immediate and loving family. Born in 1920, she was the only
child of Captain John Eric Woodhouse
OLAND of Halifax, Nova Scotia
and Denise Victoria
OLAND (née
HARRIS) of Victoria, British Columbia.
Mum grew up in many places including Victoria and Halifax, attended
the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Vancouver, Dalhousie University
in Halifax and married John M.
McAVITY of Saint John, New Brunswick
on December 29, 1941, several weeks before Dad went overseas.
While Dad was overseas in Italy and the low countries, Malcolm
was born in 1942 in Montreal. Reunited in December 1945, Mum
and Dad settled in Rothesay, New Brunswick and welcomed to their
family, Eric, born 1946, Frances, born 1948 and Catherine, born
1952. Relocating to Vancouver in 1952 from Rothesay and Kitchener/Waterloo,
Mum and Dad remained in their adopted west coast home for the
next 55 years building life long Friendships and engaging in
their community as active and caring volunteers. Their passion
as volunteers was directed heavily towards the Canadian Arthritis
and Rheumatism Society to which Mum remained devoted for many
years. Predeceased by her eldest son Malcolm in July 2001 and
by her loving husband of 65 years in July 2006, Mum remained
a strong and faithful icon of family for all her children: Malcolm
(Patricia GIBSON) of North Saanich, British Columbia, Eric (Judith
MAXWELL) of Canmore, Alberta, Frances of Vancouver, Catherine
(John KAYE) of North Saanich and her cherished granddaughter
Martha, of Canmore, Alberta. Mum was lovingly supported in her
last several years of life by her many faithful Friends as well
as her caregivers: Rudi, Fatima, Helen, Tericita and Maria. Mum
remained a woman of strong faith, humour and love and through
the years was a wonderful source of inspiration, strength and
comfort. Her love of flowers and music resulted in wonderful
contributions of time and devotion to her church as a faithful
and long serving member of the altar guild and the choir. A funeral
mass will be held to celebrate the life of our mother on January 30,
2008 at Church of Saint_John the Apostle, 5457 Trafalgar Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia at 2: 00 p.m. with Very Rev. Mark

McDOUGALL,
Barry
Douglas.
(February 25, 1933-January 22, 2008)
Barry loved life and the people of his life. He was a devoted
father to three children, a doting grandfather to five, a loving
partner, and a dedicated friend. All who knew him are left stronger,
richer and better for his inspiration and influence. Born in
rural Manitoba, the only
son of Ken and Isabel
McDOUGALL,
Barry
grew up in the small towns of Mentmore and Neepawa, where his
father operated the grain elevator and his mother ran the general
store. The family moved to Winnipeg for Barry's high school years,
and Barry subsequently attended and graduated from the Universities
of Manitoba (Commerce) and Minnesota (MBA) where he was also
a brother in the Phil Delta Theta fraternity. Barry's children
Cynthia, Liz, and Scott (from his twenty-seven year marriage
to Beverley
CHAFE) grew independent and courageous through his
strong and consistent support. He encouraged them to know and
be active in the world, and to find and create happiness. He
gave them opportunities he never had. He supported and joined
in their adventures from Turkey to Tortola, Indonesia to Oregon,
Ketch Harbour to Courtenay. He slept in their basements and boats
and adapted without pause to new cultures and cuisines. He visited
his children and their families often, giving reassurance, welcome
guidance, and unqualified love. To his grandchildren, Barry was
an endless source of noisy fun and loving indulgence. From games
like 'posquitoes' and 'Dumb and Dumber', to lifechanging experiences
like Outward Bound, his five grandchildren benefited profoundly
and unforgettably from his place in their lives. His last ten
years were spent in the loving company of Penny Green, of Winnipeg.
Although their time together was too short, it was full of fun,
adventure, travel and happiness. He loved Penny deeply, and his
love extended to her children, family, and Friends who welcomed
him into their lives. In December 2007, Barry proposed to Penny,
and they looked forward to being married. Barry's warm and genuine
interest in people drew a wide array of Friends and relationships.
He collected, cared and clipped news stories for Friends around
the world. In recent days, Friends have remembered him as 'a
true gentleman', 'second father', 'mentor', 'loyal', 'generous',
and 'thoughtful'. Barry was dedicated in his career as a partner
in the consulting practice at Deloitte (and precursor firms).
Many of his partners became close Friends, and his work was a
source of immense satisfaction. He traveled the world, worked
creatively and diligently for clients and Friends, and enjoyed
it all. His career was long and successful, and his ultimate
retirement from the firm was more of a guideline than a rule.
Diagnosed with prostate cancer more than a decade ago, Barry
fought and survived for many years but eventually, peacefully
and with dignity, succumbed. With that in mind, donations may
be made to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre Foundation or a
charity of your choice. Barry was a great lover of jazz, and
served on the Board of the Ottawa Jazz Festival. In that spirit,
a celebration of his life will be held at Café Paradiso, 199 Bank
Street, on Monday January 28, 2008 from 6: 30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Spoken tributes, anecdotes, roasts and toasts will be welcome
between 7: 30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Written tributes and photographs
are also invited at smcdougall@terrachoice.com. Calls welcome

PINDER,
Margaret
Shirley (formerly
HALL, née
RATHWELL)
Margaret passed away December 28, 2007, in her home in Saskatoon,
surrounded by her adoring family. She was ill with cancer for
only a short time. Her incredible passion for life was exemplified
by her commitment to her family and to her many Friends. She
believed that through hard work and a positive outlook anything
can be achieved, a philosophy she rigorously instilled in her
children and encouraged in her grandchildren. Margaret was born
to Muriel (née
TEARE) and Herbert
RATHWELL on July 7, 1923, and
grew up in Moose Jaw. She was very proud of her farming heritage
and the lessons she learned on the farm during the depression
years instilled a commitment to hard work. She mixed this work
ethic with her own brand of fun and the results were infectious.
At age 17 she left home and went into training at The Holy Cross
Hospital in Calgary, anxious to become a nurse and join the fighting
overseas. As befitted her style, she was impatient to be on the
front line where the action was. Her adventuresome military career
took her to such far off places as Dundurn, Regina, Prince Albert
and finally ended in Maple Creek where she met and married Doctor Raymond
Leslie HALL (from Wadena,) and with him they established a private
practice in Elrose, Saskatchewan. Both Jeffrey and Leslie were
born there. Her next stop was to Toronto and during Ray's internship
their third child, Janet, was born. In 1956, the family returned
to Saskatoon, where Ray and Margaret set up an ophthalmologic
practice. Ray died suddenly, at the age of 36, leaving Margaret
with the three small children. While recovering from this tragic
turn in life, she met Ross
PINDER, who had recently suffered
his own overwhelming tragedy, with the loss of his wife and children
in an automobile accident. Their marriage brought them both out
of darkness; the light was shone by three more children, Terri,
Douglas, and Paul. The family became one. Marg and Ross's 46 year
marriage was, from the beginning, charmed, and, for her six children,
twelve grandchildren (and one great-grandchild) it will be an
enduring model of an unsurpassed love affair. Marg's unwavering
commitment to Ross and her support of his many philanthropic
and business endeavors and to his work at Pinder's Drug Stores
helped them develop a very successful partnership in life. Marg
and Ross shared many fun activities together, whether it was
hunting, fishing, golfing, watching football or hosting great
parties and each event was never without Margaret's trademark
glamour and style. No matter where they were, whether it was
in Saskatoon, Sun Lakes, or Waskesui, Marg opened her home and
her heart to lots of Friends and family. After Ross died in 2004,
Margaret continued to foster her lifelong Friendships while teaming
up with a group of very special ladies she often referred to
as 'my new young Friends' who helped continue her active and
dynamic life. After a wonderful 84 years, Margaret passed away
surrounded by those who loved her. Knowing that she would once
