David Milton Cumming
It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our husband and father David, in his home, on May 18, 2012 after his eight-month battle with cancer.
David was born on August 10, 1955 in Powell River, where he met his best friend and wife of 40 years, raised his children and worked first in the logging industry and then in the quarry on Texada.
He will be sadly missed by his wife Linda, children Bonnie (Garry), Julie, Denny (Karlyn), Ju Ju, sister Vicki, Dad and Cheryl.
“Papa” will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Alyssa, Breanna, Kendra, Grayden, Kaleb and Alex.
Huge hugs and thanks to the ladies from home care nursing, Chris, Marlise and Sandy. Thanks to Janet and Darcy in Oncology, Dr. Lafferty, and to all our many dear, close friends for spending time with David at home, and for the flowers and best wishes.
To my sisters Donna (Knut) and Susan (Tony), words cannot express the love and thanks I feel for your tireless help during the last few months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, love “Sis.”
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 2 from 1 - 3 pm at the Cranberry Seniors’ Centre.
You are an angel, now gone to Heaven up above.
Your wings they will surround us with protection and your Love.
Dolores Elaine Powell, April 6, 1930 - May 11, 2012
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our Mother and friend, Dolores Elaine Powell. She was predeceased by her husband Courtney H. Powell and brother Leo Fredericks. Affectionately known to many as "Grandma Goose,” Mom acquired a large extended family she loved dearly.
She leaves behind her children: daughter Deborah, sons Courtney Jr. (Heather), Terry (Brenda), Wayne (Marlene), Cameron (Michelle) and chosen son Dennis (Jo), 12 natural and many chosen grandchildren, seven natural and many chosen great-grandchildren, brothers-in-law Bill and Conrad, and nieces and nephews to cherish her memory.
As an active member of the PR Health Care Auxiliary, her sense of humour and compassion made her many friends.
Our Mom, Dolores, will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.
There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your choice.
Calista Jasmine Fleming, November 14, 1991 - May 17, 2012
It is with overwhelming sadness that Bryce and Roni Fleming announce the death of their dear daughter Calista in the early morning of Thursday, May 17 at the young age of just 20 years.
Born in the Yukon in 1991 and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Calista had finally found her true place practicing photography in Courtenay, BC. Her radiant smile, her determined work ethic and her willingness to embrace new adventures will always be missed by everyone who knew her.
A scholarship to aid the education of potential young photographers is being established in her name. An art and photography show will be held as her memorial next month in Courtenay. Details will follow.
Mortality is like a thin piece of paper with "life" on one side and "the void" on the other. We should all remember that a simple breeze can turn that paper in a moment and change everything. Love your family well.
