Tony & Mary: ...and now another one of us has become an ancestor to always protect and guide us. What a pow wow they must be having up beyond the clouds. When it rains and you hear the thunderous explosions know that is your mom sending out honour beats, the gentle falling of snow is them having pillow fights and the quiet summer days is our ancestors smiling down on us knowing that we're going to be ok. We're a different sort of bunch in that we have your back and know that Gram's house is always open for you as it is for all her children and grandchildren. This last week has been hard as we make new adjustments and the days and weeks ahead will be different and every now and then a memory will slip down your cheek - know that it is ok to shed a tear - we have been forever changed. Ruby: Give Gram a hug for us - let her know we are ok and don't you and Birdie create too much havoc cause Pookie will be standing guard and you have Ron and Karen to help show you the way. We will miss you forever. As we have been taught Baamaapii my sister, we will miss and love you forever!
