Celebrating a Life

On this night, we gathered to celebrate the life and times of our mother, sister, colleague, neighbour, friend, Elizabeth Woods. About sixty people came--not just her family and friends, but colleagues and neighbours and some delightful surprises. 

Despite our shared melancholy, it was a healing event. Sean served as our master of ceremonies and shared stories from Uncle Gordon and Aunt Jean; I performed the eulogy. 

On behalf of the Woods family, I want to thank the many people who came and also the many more who phoned, texted, emailed, and mailed their thoughts and condolences. Every word helped.
