Nancy
Eileen Tutty Morrison
We
buried Nancy Saturday May 27th 2006, 11:00 am in a wonderful
ceremony. She now rests at her Irish Grandmother's feet, in St. Thomas,
Ontario, the town and province of her birth. There were tears, naturally,
and Brian and Johnathan and Matthew said their final goodbye's to
his Wife and their Mother. It was for Johnathan and Matthew I was
the sorriest. They will never have their Mother's loving arms around
them in times of trouble and grief, and happiness and joy!
My grandchildre, Dayce and Emery Williams, were present, and put the
'life back into the occasion, along with my daughter, Charleen, her
fiance, Tarek Sabry, my brother Andrew Tutty and his 'one and only'
Suzanne Morris, our parents, Charles and Marjorie Tutty, Uncle Bob,
Aunt Doreen and cousin, Darcy Emery.
My husband, John read the Poem "Nancy
in Navy Blue" that I had written for the IVWPA (Internation
War Veterans Poetry Archives), where Nancy is honored along with
her Grandfather Emery, WWI, her father, Charles Tutty, WWII, and her
Mother, Marjorie, Royal Canadian Legion, and all the other 'Brats'
as we always referred to ourselves .... those of us who were the children
of the Canadian Military!
Our
wee Em wanted to know what Nancy would eat in Heaven, and the kind
gentleman who was doing the gravedigging etc., told her very gently,
that she wouldn't need food, as she would be full of God's love! Which
was a wonderful thing to tell a child. Both kids sat crosslegged on
the grass watching the entire burial procedure. They were so well
behaved and I was so happy to have them there. To Dayce and Emery,
Aunt Nancy was the lady who could take her long hair off and they
thought that that was simply 'awesome'!!!!! Charleen has Nancy's blonde
fall.
A snack and greet was held at our Uncle Des and Aunt Viv's in St.
Thomas, where everyone had a chance to visit and share. Many thanks
to both of them for allowing a herd to trample through their home!
