My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For its beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
Lovingly remembered by sisters Ida Embry, Josephine Eshkibok, and Christine Belonga.

HOWARD,
Frank
On February 26th, 2008, in Guadalajara, Mexico, from the effects
of lung cancer. Frank, 77, was loved, and will be fondly remembered,
by his wife
Geraldine
CASTLE-
TRUDEL and her children Jennifer
(widow of Brigadier-General Marc
POULIOT, mother of Jessica and
Nicole,)
Nicholas (husband of Jennifer-Anne
McNEILL, father of
Noah,) Victoria
NOURY (mother of David and Erik) and Mellissa
(wife of Ian
HOLMES, mother of Oliver.) Also bereaved are his
daughters Virginia
HOWARD,
Susan (wife of Robin
LYNCH, mother
of Jessica and Alison,) Lisa (wife of Andrew
FOGARASIS, mother
of Peter and Alice,) Jennifer
HOWARD (married to Mary
SCOTT,)
and their mother Patricia, as well as many other relatives and
numerous Friends. When Frank retired from journalism on February 18,
1994, he was writing the Bureaucrats column in the Ottawa Citizen.
As a tribute, John Gray reminisced about Frank as a journalist
and friend for The Bureaucrats: Souvenir Edition. What John wrote
is as affectionately appropriate today as it was then: "Many,
many years ago when he was Canada's youngest city editor on Canada's
oldest daily newspaper, Frank
HOWARD taught me the rudiments
of journalism. For this I am grateful: it has kept me off the
streets in the intervening 30 odd years. Since then, however,
the HOWARD scorecard is a bit smudged. Early on, he set out to
save the country. He busied himself with the affairs of Quebec
and talked endlessly to those who would listen about the mystic
union of French and English Canada. He wanted to be, he said,
un interlocuteur valable. The rest is history - the immediate
birth of the Quebec separatist movement and the country's long
decline into the national toilet. So much for the joys of mysticism.
He was not much better outside Quebec. He travelled to Toronto
to be the best man at our wedding. This was much appreciated,
except that he insisted on playing the rustic, throwing himself
downstairs in full view of 50 people. Two days later, at what
was supposed to be a wedding party, he lectured another 50 people
for 4½ hours on the evils of contraception. A lot of people still
believe that I am a hideous judge of character. In the mid-1960s
he persuaded me that the Montreal Star was a wonderful place
to work. He left within a few weeks. And a few years later, of
course, the Montreal Star died. Through long and patient effort,
Frank was crucial in furthering a lifelong commitment of myself
and many others to beer and related pleasures. Later he renounced
the devil and all his works and he now looks upon the rest of
us with sad eyes and infinite pity and superiority. My own suspicion
is that this exalted moral plane from which he now views the
world is his own revenge for a lifetime of short jokes. Those
who know him will recognize in all this a desperate ring of truth.
However, I will say this for Frank. Over the years he has resisted
the temptation to teach me everything he knows about snooker.
Of such forbearance is great Friendship made."
In accordance with his wishes he has been cremated, and so "Adieu
kind friend, adieu…."

Jon "
Ric
Chip"
I would like to take this time to say "Thank You". But a simple
"Thank You" doesn't come close to expressing the gratitude I
feel for all the support that I have received from family and
Friends. It's in difficult times like these that we realize just
how many Friends we have, and how much they really mean to us.
Throughout his life, Ric has touched so many people with, his
genuine smile, his laugh, his jokes, his stories, his generosity,
and quick impulse to help anyone or any cause that came along.
One of Ric's most important accomplishments in life was the many
Friends he acquired along the way. The respect and final farewell
that all of you gave him will never be forgotten. Just as I'm
certain that Ric will never be forgotten, because there will
always be a part of him in all our hearts. I would like to extend
a special thank you to- Dennis and Sheila

Maggy REEVES, 85: Couturier
Austrian-born designer clothed Canada's rich and famous
By Iris NOWELL,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S12
Toronto -- As a child, fashion designer Maggy
REEVES became acquainted
with immense wealth and one of its conspicuous spinoffs - beautifully
dressed women. It changed her life so that years later she would
attain the pinnacle of fashion excellence in Canada.
Born into uncertain times in Austria in 1924, she was christened
Margarethe
WEISZ. As a nine-year-old growing up in Austria she
sensed only faint stirrings of the unrest around her. In 1937,
she gained an abrupt understanding when her Jewish father, Robert
WEISZ, fled the Nazis and escaped abroad, leaving behind his
Catholic wife and daughters Margarethe and Trude.
During the Second World War, the threesome moved to the countryside
where they were spared the worst of the conflict. In 1947, Margarethe
married Willibald
NAGENZAUM, a bookkeeper she had known from
her school days. The marriage lasted only two years and she,
with son Frederick, left Vienna to join her father in the Dominican
Republic. There, she discovered he had bigamously married a niece
of Rafael TRUJILLO, the country's infamous dictator. Margarethe
and her son moved in with her father and his wife and, in doing
so, rubbed shoulders with the elite of society. The women, she
discovered, were stunningly dressed.
"I was so jealous," she said years later. "I showed off by making
the wildest clothes." This achieved the desired effect: "People
looked at me."
By 1949, however, she had grown unhappy living with her father's
new wife and ran off and married James
COURTNEY, a well-to-do
Texan. This proved to be a mistake. After two tumultuous years
in Dallas, they divorced and she moved to New York where she
became an apprentice pattern maker.
In 1953, she moved to Montreal where she broadened her experience
as a junior designer. Two years later, she settled in Toronto.
There she got a foothold in couture by custom designing high-fashion
clothes. By then known as Maggy, she set up a business in her
home on Bayview Avenue in Toronto's Moore Park neighbourhood
and hired three women as seamstresses. In her window she hung
a sign: "L'elegance - Paris, Toronto, Haute Couture."
"Maggy organized little fashion shows in the living room," said
her friend Edith
BILEK, a fellow Austrian who served clients
tea and sandwiches. "That's how Maggy began."
The business developed quickly but lacked capital to expand.
A client named Reva
JOSEPH, whose husband was a prosperous car
dealer, offered the necessary backing. The new business was named
Maggy Reeves, which is derived from their first names - Maggy
and Reva. In 1957, the Maggy Reeves salon opened on Cumberland
Street in Toronto. Over time, Maggy adopted it as her own name.
The business flourished and in 1962 she married Otto
SOMLAI,
a Hungarian who had fled the 1956 revolution. At first, he worked
in a furniture factory but later quit to work alongside his wife.
By that time her salon enjoyed a staff of European-trained women
who painstakingly produced the handwork that was the Maggy Reeves
imprimatur -- beading, quilting, hand painting and embroidery.
Working with fine silk chiffon, for example, a design might comprise
six or eight hem lengths, each hand-rolled and stitched so fine
the stitches were scarcely visible. Such filmy chiffon and tiny
stitches allowed a dress to "float" as the wearer walked. It
was a distinct mark of couture.
Ms. REEVES's workers spent hundreds of hours on handwork she
could never afford to charge. Prices of her ball gowns averaged
$2,000 to $3,000, which in Paris or New York would be 10 times
higher. Her costliest design was $10,000.
Interestingly, the customer was not always right. If Ms.
REEVES
felt an outfit would not be flattering, she refused to make it
and instead devised a glamorous alternative. She steered women
away from tight-fitting clothes they thought were sexy. "If you
wear something too tight that shows your bumps," she once told
a reporter, "you will look like a snake that has swallowed eggs."
In October of 1964, an afternoon tea and fashion show at the
Park Plaza Hotel put her salon on the map. Organized by her friend
and public-relations whiz, the late Catherine
SMYTH, the event
was intended to expose Toronto women to haute couture suits,
coats and ball gowns that were the equal of Paris, Rome and New
York.
"Everybody went ga-ga," recalls Anne
CASEY, a client who modelled
in the show. "People wanted to buy the clothes right off your
back."
Clientele grew quickly and Ms.
REEVES often had difficulty obtaining
high-quality fabrics in Canada. Twice a year, she travelled to
textile mills in France, Italy and Austria in search of the best
materials. Frequently, she went to New York for the luxurious
ribbons, piping, vintage beads and Swarovski crystal buttons
that gave her designs their characteristic touch.
In 1977, a star-studded charity fashion show in Los Angeles earned
recognition in the U.S. The show, in support of the Loretta Young
Auxiliary of Saint Anne's Maternity Hospital and Home for Unwed
Mothers, was organized by Toronto broadcast journalist Edie
FRANKEL.
The clothes were modelled by the wives of actors and the event
attracted celebrities and young starlets.
However, it also produced a big problem.
"Maggy took one look at the models and said, 'I told you, no
breasts!' Ms.
FRANKEL recalled. All along, Ms.
REEVES had been
concerned that naturally busty women and breast-implanted women
would not fit her fashions. Fortunately, she had brought along
a sewing machine, and her assistant Franca
RANIERE immediately
made alterations.
Ms. REEVES continued as a leader in Canadian haut couture for
some years after that but demand diminished in the 1990s as fashion
changed to ultra casual wear. Nonetheless, with one part-time
worker she continued to make couture in her Toronto apartment
for a few loyal clients.
Maggy REEVES was born Margarethe Katharina
WEISZ in Vienna, Austria,
on October 11, 1924. She died April 9, 2008, in Toronto of heart
failure. She was 85. She is survived by her sister, Trude, and
her son Fred Courtney. She was predeceased by her husband, Otto,
in 1991.

RORKE,
Gwendolyn (née
WANNAMAKER)
Gwendolyn RORKE
Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, breast
cancer survivor. Born October 12, 1908, near Ameliasburg, Ontario
Died November 17, 2007, in Souris, Prince Edward Island, of old
age, aged 99.
By Derek NEWTON,
Page
L10
Gwendolyn WANNAMAKER began her life on a small farm, the only
surviving child of Zella
TRUMPOUR and Walter
WANNAMAKER.
An intelligent and determined woman, Gwen believed in the importance
of education, deportment and etiquette. She was one of few women
in Canada to earn a university degree in mathematics during the
1930s.
Gwen was an enthusiastic alumna of Queen's University in Kingston.
She returned many times, most recently to celebrate her reunion
70 years after graduating. True to her guidance, all of Gwen's
three children and eight grandchildren completed postsecondary
education. Much to her delight, some of them went to Queen's.
Gwen married Colin
RORKE, a fellow Queen's alumnus and mechanical
engineer, and they eventually settled in Toronto with their children.
In the 1950s, the
RORKEs purchased a property in the Kawarthas,
northeast of Toronto, beginning the labour of love of building
a cottage. Always resourceful, Gwen fashioned curtains out of
old soap bags from Lever Brothers Ltd., where Colin worked.
One of Gwen's proudest accomplishments was her term as president
of the Canadian Home and School Federation in the 1960s.
A true lady, Gwen was always dignified, her outfits adorned with
an elegant brooch or scarf. Kind actions were always promptly
acknowledged with a thank you note, and there would be no stacking
of dirty plates or resting of elbows at her table. But she wasn't
one to take herself too seriously.
Gwen played a significant role in her grandchildren's lives and
education, providing tireless homework assistance and even tutorials
in cribbage and bridge. She braved numerous recitals, performances
and commencement ceremonies.
Generous in spirit, Gwen knitted hundreds of teddy bears for
a local women's shelter. Well into her 80s, she maintained her
sharp mind, organizing indoor lawn bowling tournaments and playing
bridge twice a week. She battled breast cancer and came through
it with her spirit intact. Sadly, by her mid-90s, her intellect
was lost to Alzheimer's disease. She outlived two of her three
children, Harvey and Beverley, and spent her last few years in
her daughter Sally's care in Prince Edward Island.
Gwen always enjoyed giving guided tours of Ontario's Prince Edward
County to any willing grandchild. On the drive back from one
such trip, we pulled off the road to admire the sunset at the
end of a day of memories, history and a lesson on our family's
roots. It is this picture of Gwen, strong and proud, that I will
fondly remember.
Derek NEWTON is Gwendolyn's grand_son.

Steven TRUSCOTT's 'poor Mom' spent decades fighting on his behalf
The matriarch of a military family endured divorce and disappointment
before seeing justice done
By Lisa FITTERMAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
Doris Truscott
BRENNAN would tell her children that when they
were older, they'd look back on their youth and want to live
it all over again. Childhood, she was wont to say, is the most
precious and beautiful time of life.
"Poor
Mom," her most famous son, Steven
TRUSCOTT, once said to
journalist Bill Trent. "How could she know that the soft, golden
days of my childhood would one day come to an abrupt, tragic
end and that she would be visiting me in a jail?"
Back in 1950s, Mrs.
BRENNAN was known as Dot
TRUSCOTT, a traditional
air force wife and mother of four who spent her time cooking,
cleaning, doing endless loads of laundry and ensuring that her
boisterous offspring minded their manners. From the family's
small clapboard house in Clinton, Ontario, she was the boss who
tolerated no insubordination. Petite and plainspoken, it was
her way to strike a balance between strictness and love.
In June, 1959, Mrs.
BRENNAN was doing what she did every year:
making plans for summer vacation and occasionally socializing
with her husband, Dan, in the sergeants' mess. On June 10, everything
began to unravel. That's when Leslie
HARPER, the father of 12-year-old
Lynne, showed up on the doorstep, saying he'd been told that
one of the Truscott boys had seen her. She hadn't come home the
night before. The family was frantic. Steven told him that he'd
given her a lift on his bike to the corner and that she'd hitched
a ride on the highway.
When Lynne's body was found in the nearby bush, investigators
focused on the 14-year-old who seemed to have been the last person
to see her alive. It was ridiculous, Mrs.
BRENNAN knew. Her tall,
handsome and shy second son, who excelled at track and field
and liked to fish in his spare time, couldn't have committed
the grisly crime he was accused of. How could the authorities,
whom she'd always respected, pin this horror on him?
She would learn to fight back, grimly and with a singular sense
of purpose. She fought through his arraignment and his trial,
sitting behind him and whispering words of encouragement and
testifying that with four active kids, she had to do laundry
more than once a week and that a dirty pair of jeans was not
exceptional.
She fought against the shocking sentence to hang by his neck
until he was dead (later commuted to life in prison), and she
fought all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada to have
the conviction overturned. She fought without help from the air
force, even as her family moved from Clinton into a secondhand
trailer in a park near the small-town Ontario jail where her
son was first held. And throughout, she fought to keep her family
together and to shield her other children from the trauma.
"She instilled in Steven the air force way: Keep your emotions
in check, stand firm in the face of adversity and never back
down," said investigative journalist Julian Sher, who chronicled
the family's struggle in the book Until You Are Dead. "She was
efficient, she was dedicated, she was a whirlwind and she was
to be reckoned with."
Mrs. BRENNAN once told Mr. Sher that she had to draw on all of
her military grit to survive. "I think being a serviceperson,
you learn to accept things more and make do with what you have,"
she recalled. "Your world has turned completely around, but you
push it to the back of your mind and you look ahead. Nothing
more could happen that could be worse, so it's got to get better."
But it wouldn't get better, not for a long time.
Born Doris
BOWERS,
Mrs.
BRENNAN was an air force child herself.
Her father was an engineer and worked at one point on an air-sea
rescue boat. Dan
TRUSCOTT, whom she met in 1942, worked on that
boat, too; he first came by the
BOWERS home as a family friend
but soon dropped all pretence as the relationship with Doris
heated up. The couple married and had four children.
Along the way, they were stationed for various periods on bases
near Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Quebec City and Rivers, Manitoba,
where they lived in a shack with an outdoor toilet. It wasn't
an easy life, but Mrs.
BRENNAN had been ready all her life to
take on the challenges of raising a family within the confines
of the military. New schools and new Friends were par for the
course.
Her son's arrest and what followed turned everything she knew
on its head. After the trial, she worked at three part-time jobs,
in a bakery, a grocery store and a cafeteria, to help keep the
family afloat and to pay for gas for the monthly car trips to
and from Collins Bay Penitentiary near Kingston, where Steven
would serve the bulk of his sentence.
Mac STIENBURG, the Collins Bay chaplain who became a surrogate
father to Mr.
TRUSCOTT in prison and with whom the young man
first lived when he was paroled, said the parents never let him
see how scared and frustrated they were.
"They would spend time in the chapel and they'd pass on family
tidbits, keeping him up to date," Mr.
STIENBURG said. "They had
very natural, newsy conversations. They never got into that 'poor
you' or 'poor me' mindset."
The chaplain, now retired, said his most poignant memory of the
mother and son was her visit in May, 1967, after they'd lost
a Supreme Court bid to have the verdict overturned. After placing
their faith in the ability of the judges to recognize the case
as a circumstantial fiction, she was devastated, but Mr.
STIENBURG
said that didn't stop her driving out to the prison to speak
to Mr. TRUSCOTT face to face.
"It was after-hours and because of the way it was happening,
I was granted permission to monitor the visit," he recalled.
"She did the exact right thing. She said, 'This isn't the end
of it. We'll go on and see what we can do.' She was so strong
and determined, sitting there in this cold visiting room, and
I think Steve drew strength from her."
Indeed, Mrs.
BRENNAN grasped at any chance to clear her son's
name. When Isabel LeBourdais, a Toronto journalist, first wrote
to the Truscotts to express her interest in writing a magazine
exposé about why a 14-year-old would be tried as an adult and
given the death penalty, the two women began to forge a Friendship
made stronger by the fact that Ms. LeBourdais had a son only
a little older than Mr.
TRUSCOTT.
Ms. LeBourdais eventually decided that the story was one of wrongful
conviction and too big to tell within the limited scope of a
magazine. Instead, she wrote The Trial of Steven Truscott, a
book she dedicated to Mrs.
BRENNAN "with affection and profound
respect."
"It really summed up their relationship," said the author's son,
Julien LeBourdais. "They were two mothers with sons close in
age and one of the things we always say to people is, 'I know
how you feel.' But we don't really know. We can't know. You can
only feel awe."
No matter how strong Mrs.
BRENNAN was, the ordeal did take its
toll. At one point, she took tranquilizers to get through the
long days and even longer nights, while Mr.
STIENBURG said she
was disappointed by administrative decisions that her son must
live under an assumed name when he was paroled and that he must
live with the chaplain instead of coming home.
Her marriage to Dan
TRUSCOTT unravelled while their son was in
prison, a casualty of the pressure. Although she married again,
the union didn't last and she spent her latter years living outside
Ottawa near three of her children.
In an e-mail sent to supporters, Mr.
TRUSCOTT's wife, Marlene,
wrote that Mrs.
BRENNAN was an inspiration to them all. Although
the family declined to make any further comment, it seems clear
she will be remembered as the fierce, stalwart mother who refused
to give up on her son - the mother who, last summer, finally
saw justice done when the Ontario Court of Appeal quashed the
conviction, calling it a "miscarriage of justice."
She lived long enough to see it and for that, she was happy.
Doris (Dot)
BRENNAN died at the Ottawa Heart Institute on December 17,
2007. She was 82. She is survived by children Ken (Lenora), Steven
(Marlene), Bill (Carol) and Barb, and grandchildren David, Dwayne,
Ryan, Leslie, Devon, Crystal and Tom.
