My Buddy, My sis Cheryl

You were the light in my life, the harmony of our voices, you were the rhythm that gave me strength. You guided me every step of the way, you were my best friend, my buddy. I know you’re singing and dancing with angels and who left before us. Lots of hugs to you, see ya soon and love you always.

Love always, your buddy/sis:

Nicole Bourassa “Nik”

“God Saw She”

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her and whispered, “come with me”. With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away, although we loved her dearly we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

We love you Mom
