Letter from Mary April 2, 2012

Hello Denise

I thought that you should know that Lee will be included in the Memorial Service to be held at the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care Conference in Sydney, NB later this month. Her name will be read out at the service as a personal honouring of her life within the Association. As well, she has been added to the Book of Remembrance - both the paper and electronic versions. The paper copy of the Book of Remembrance will be brought to the Conference for use in the Memorial Service. Lee's page in the electronic Book of Remembrance can be found at: http://www.spiritualcare.ca/mem/people/Tennyson.html

Hope this all makes sense....

I have fond memories of my time with Lee at the conference last year.  We had both arrived a day early, so spent the day together walking along the Danforth and arriving in Riverdale where both Lee and I had previously lived—Lee as a toddler, and me when I was a seminary student.  The house I lived in backed onto Withrow Park; the house Lee lived in fronted onto Withrow Park.  We sat on the front steps of “Lee’s house” looking over at the park, as Lee shared stories of her early childhood in Riverdale.  We then walked through the park, enjoying in particular the part where dogs are allowed to run off leash.  On our way back to the conference we stopped for culinary delights on the Danforth.  It was a glorious spring day…we had left behind work and the stresses of life, and just enjoyed the day together.  It is my favourite memory of Lee.

We in Spiritual Care are all thinking of you, and will especially remember you and Lee tomorrow, on Lee’s 68th birthday.

Blessings and love, Mary
