Thank you for your support

On my behalf of my family, I would like to express my gratitude for the kindness and support we received from many people on the death of our mother, the late Annie Grey, on November 19, 2002.

It truly was in God’s hands what we went through while my mother was dying. In our ordinary lives we usually plan our activities, such as travel, work, vacation or hunting.

But my mother’s departure from us was well-planned in God’s hands as unexpected things happened after she died. Unexpected wonderful things happened while we were preparing for the burial in her home community of Aupaluk. Some of my relatives came unexpectedly, as if they were meant to be there for the funeral. There were kind messages from many people who expressed their memories and appreciation of my mother.

I would also like to acknowledge my relatives who provided me and my daughter with their support while I was with my mother in her last few days at the Tulattavik Health Center.

I would personally like to acknowledge as follows: the Community of Aupaluk, the Ungava Tulattavik Health Center, the Municipality of Kuujjuaq, Benjamin Arreak, the Makivik Corporation, and Iola Metuq, Anglican Minister of Kangirsuk.

God bless everyone and have a happy new year.
