Life Memorial - Stephanie Honouring Her Fathers Life

In the first few days after my father’s unexpected passing, I was having a hard time accepting this reality and the many ways my father touched my life and others. I continued my grief work by putting my thoughts into action; I wanted to think of ways to honour him and it led me to so many memories of him and the special places in our life.

While Mom and Erik were in Antigua in April doing everything they could to have Dad repatriated back to Canada , I had to go to Mom and Dad’s house for the first time since his passing alone and that’s when the idea connected.

To make my hopes of this vision come through I invite you to participate in this little project. If you have a picture, a drawing or a figurine of a blue jay, a hibiscus flower or a deer (don’t worry if you don’t we will be bringing some as well) please bring them to the Celebration of Life as representations of my father. Once we have all gathered, I will speak more of this idea during my part of the eulogy.

In short;
- If you have, please bring a drawing, picture, little figurine of any of the following; a blue jay bird, hibiscus flower, a deer stag
- On your way home grab a memorabilia from the basket
