Sincerest thanks from the Taylor family

Our family has just come through the most trying experience of our lives, watching our wife, mother and grandmother pass from this world.

Susan Soroseeliktuq Taylor passed away in Ottawa’s Civic Hospital on Dec. 21, 2003, after putting up a valiant fight for the previous four weeks. During our time of family crisis, all through the period of her illness and subsequent mourning of our loss, so many friends and acquaintances have lent their support to all of us. It is truly overwhelming.

We would like to thank those kind people for their support and caring, beginning with the medical staff who did everything humanly possible, both here in Iqaluit and at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa.

In no particular order, our sincerest thanks and appreciation go to: Drs. Westerhoff and Huni at Baffin Regional Hospital, all the doctors and nurses of the Intensive Care Unit at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa, the staff of Rotel, Ottawa, for much-needed inexpensive accommodation, and Nunavut Tungavik Inc. for travel assistance, (thanks, Maggie, for the extra effort during your holiday break).

Thanks also to: Greg and Sylvia Healey; Pauline Paton and family; Joanasie and Mary Akumalik; Pauline Alainga; Sue Smith and Charlene Lavallee; The Watts family, Paddy and Jose, Shani, Tom and Tina; Pairijait Tigumivik Society; Margaret Craigie; Hannah Oolayou; Mike and Margaret Gardner; Paul Murphy and Helen Klengenberg; Joamie Eegeesiak; Paul Suvega; Neevee Hanson and Rev. Daniel Aupalu.

Our sincere apologies to those whose names may have been unintentionally overlooked.

Also, to all those who have approached us and offered their support and condolences, we thank you all for helping us get through this trying time. Thank you.

From the Taylor family: Jim, Pitseolak, Alex, Donald and Sarah (Reid)
