in loving memory

Rebekah (Becky) Elizabeth Wincherauk

born: 1914 passed away: December 12th 1987

On this date 20 years ago I was present to witness the passing of my (Grand)Mother. I held her hand for several hours as my friend Gord Tank, stood by.

My great friends, Darryl, Corrie, Barb, Wes, Kleo, Kirk, Jeff, Lori, Gord, Michelle, and several other loving friends, stood by to make sure that I was going to be okay. That night when I left her bedside, I never fully understood the scope of the new beginning in my life... I never fully knew the magnitude of what was coming my way. I survived, somewhat. That night I celebrated her life with these great friends.

All these years later, December 12th., etches its way into my heart. It's subsided some over the years, not really, however, this year, it's coming on strong. I don't want to reveal much more of my heart on this occasion --- I now need to protect the memory.

All I want to say: Rebekah ("Becky") Elizabeth Wincherauk, (Grand)Mom, thank you for giving me a chance. Without you, I would have never survived. I love you with every ounce of my heart, and I can never imagine the struggle you faced. Your care taught me how to give back without condition. You were always will be, a remarkable woman. Your children were blessed to be raised by you.

I will never forget you, or be able to thank you enough for the strength you showed and the love that you sent my way. I now understand, love, and family, is more important than any material possessions we can obtain in our journey through life. Because of you I will never be alone. Thank you!

Wherever you are I know it will never be goodbye.

Much Love

Lindsay
