Thanks from the Nakashuk family

Our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, Malaiya Nakashuk, passed away Feb. 16, 2005. She was 81 years old.

We would like to thank the elders’ centre staff for providing care for over five years while she was no longer able to care for herself, and of course Elisapee Gordon for always making us feel comfortable while we were visiting our mother. Harry Flaherty, Qaumariaq Mitsima and Oolanee Coman provided her with country food which was all she wanted, and we greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness.

A special thank you to Dr. Jakubec and nurses at the Baffin Regional Hospital for supporting and caring for her during the last few hours of her life. We also would like to thank Tammaatarvik for bringing us food and providing transportation during the funeral service and to Ron McLean for coming to our home and helping us arrange the service.

We are especially thankful to Jamesie Josephee for giving us free cargo to send our mothers’ casket from Yellowknife to Iqaluit. You are forever in our hearts. To all of you and to many more we have not mentioned, thanks again for all your support. May she rest in peace.
