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.
Sharon Anne McCagherty (Née Behan), December 31, 1949 - May 25, 2012

In lieu of flowers donations in Sharon’s name can be made to the Victoria Hospice Society. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, June 3 at 2:30 pm at the Fernwood Inn, Victoria, BC.
Miss me but let me go.
When I have come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me,
I want no tears in a gloom-filled room,
why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little – but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone,
It’s all part of the master’s plan,
A step in the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good works,
Miss me but let me go.

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.

You are an angel, now gone to Heaven up above.
Your wings they will surround us with protection and your Love.
