Many thanks from the Kilabuk family

Our dear mother, Annie Kilabuk Sr., passed away on the 16th of January, 2002. She leaves many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren to rest in peace after she celebrated her 80th birthday this past December 28, 2001.

We thank the Lord for having shared us his love through her passion for the well-being of others. She would often say and wished for us to be reminded: “That we are not alone, and that we have a friend forever by our side, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

In return for all the kind and warm support our family has received during our loss, we would like to say thank-you to all the individuals and organizations who generously spared time, and helped us through this difficult period.

We say thank-you to the many residents of Pangnirtung who provided food, meals, and comfort and said kind words of wisdom. Thank-you to all those who called from different communities with their thoughtfulness.

Thank-you, to the many residents of Pangnirtung, Iqaluit, Qikiqtarjuaq, Arctic Bay and Clyde River for your kindness, generosity, thoughts and prayers.

Thank-you to all those who sent the wonderful flowers and cards. They were heart-warming during the funeral.

We would also like to thank: Canadian North, Kenn Borek, First Air, Nunasi Corporation, Olahnie Coman, Donna Lee, Katherine Trumper, the Hamlet of Pangnirtung, the Pangnirtung Youth Church Group, Department of Education regional staff and regrettably others we may not have named.

Special thanks to those who travelled to Pangnirtung to see and be with us and the family during the funeral service. We are forever grateful.

To that end, we know she is now in the loving care of our God’s open arms, because she has always longed to join many friends and relatives in Heaven where God awaits.

May God bless you all.

The Kilabuk family
