Scattering of Ashes
on behalf of Spencer and Darrell
On July 14, 2023, what would have been our mother's 76th birthday, we gathered with Dad, our mother's brother and his wife, our own wives and children and Ian, a dear friend, at the Prince of Wales Park in Etobicoke, Toronto, to return our mother's ashes to nature. Although she passed away in Singapore, it was her express wish for her ashes to be scattered back in Canada. We decided that this would not be a sombre event, but rather a commemoration of the circle of life. It was a warm summer morning with only a slight breeze and gentle ripples along the rocky south shore of the park. On the east side of the park there was a picture perfect view of the Toronto skyline across Lake Ontario, a very familiar sight for our mother. May she always be the free spirit she always was, enjoying the freedom to roam where her heart felt at home.
