it is with the greatest sorrow
that I state
today
the women
of this great country
suffered a huge loss
in advocacy,
and a founding sister
of the women's movement
here in Canada.
I lost my Aunt.
Norma Mae (Brown) Scarborough
September 19, 1926 - April 2, 2009
Daughter,
Sister,
Mother,
Grandmother,
Great Grandmother,
Great Great Grandmother,
Aunt
My aunt Norma,
who fought tirelessly
and endless
for women in Canada
to be recognized
and to
to establish
and continually confirm
the rights of women
"to choose"
in Canada
RIP Normie Mae
and thank you
on behalf of the legions of women
too young to know...
too young to remember
the sacrifices of you
and yours
for the fight you believed in
You are loved.

My condolences. Its the strong women of the world that help keep us going.
Be proud you are part of her bloodline, and your own strength comes through too.
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
-Longfellow
With each passing life there is a stone left behind that must be carried further. Without this stone our mission ends, life itself
is incomplete be strong of heart and mind, carry the stone till the end so others may pass it along time and again.
My heart and mind is with yours today.
