Eulogy
Good afternoon. I would like to give you a little background on Grandma Bergeron's life which we are celebrating today. Grandma was born and raised in this community. She was a nurse for 24 years in the Edam hospital. She also spent 20 years working along side Grandpa Bergeron when he was the bulk Esso agent. Grandma's retirement was happy but uneventful until she has the misfortune of being severely injured in a fall in July. The last 4 months were hard ones for Grandma but she was determined to get better and eventually went back to her own home. Kelly and I visited Grandma on Thanksgiving and Grandma and Auntie Sherryl made us a really nice mean with cabbage rolls that Kelly likes so much. Grandma's last 9 days were spent in St. Paul's Hospital in the ICU. She passed away peacefully on Sunday night with Auntie Sherryl, Uncle Darren and my mom Pat by her side. I would like to thank all of you for coming today to help us celebrate Grandma Bergeron's life. Every week I would phone Grandma just to talk with her about anything and everything. Grandma would tell me and others that I was her favourite grandchild because she enjoyed our weekly phone calls. Grandma was very special to me too. Darryl and I loved and will miss her very much as I/m sure you all will. We would like to read a poem to you:
Ìý
Sleep well grandma
Your pain is in the past.
It was time for you to go,
You've finished your task.
Ìý
Sleep well Grandma
Grandpa's been waiting for you.
To join him up in heaven,
So his one will again be two.
Ìý
Sleep well Grandma
We already miss you so
Knowing it was your time,
Doesn't make it easier to let go.
Ìý
Sleep well Grandma
But every once in a while.
Look down at us from heaven,
And let us feel your smile.
