DATE: Saturday, September 3rd, 2005 Monday, May 30, 2005 The readings from the funeral are now available as a pdf. Saturday, April 2, 2005 London Free Press article about my Dad. Tuesday March 29, 2005 A new letter from Wally. Monday March 21, 2005 New update from Wally. Saturday March 19th Yesterday's funeral honoured Jacqueline very well. I was told that this was the largest event ever held inside the church. 300 people attended the ceremony at the 150-seat church. Please don't tell the fire marshall. From what I understand this figure does not even include those who sadly could not be accommodated. I hear some guests celebrated the event together at the Tim Horton's down the road. The Jacquie I know would have laughed in utter disbelief and found it completely complimentary. We sincerely regret the church could not accommodate everyone that wanted to be there. Having the funeral at St. Anne's was among the few preparations Jacqueline discussed. If you would like the photo slideshow DVD as shown during visitation or photo prints, feel free to request a free copy from any of us. Please donate to one of the designated charities or just give blood. (To the Red Cross, not to us ;) ) The guestbook will remain open indefinitely, as will our doors.

Some pictures are available after several requests. It's possible some people might not want to see pictures of her at the hospital, so be aware there are some very recent shots. But she looks great to me :) Pictures. Sunday March 6th Thanks for all the guestbook entries everyone! I delivered the first batch last night and will continue to do the same daily.
