Thinking of you and your family today Clint. Mary and I will be watching on live stream.
So sorry to hear about Helen’s death. We were the same age and often raced to be the first to the gate at home in Whitbourne. She usually won the race. Sorry I was away this week and did not attend the memorial service
Aunt Helen was such a wonderful lady. A couple months ago we chatted on the phone for close to two hours. I loved listening to her stories from years ago. So happy I could watch her service from Newfoundland. Sending condolences to Clint and his family.
Other than watching you suffer during your last few weeks, reading this at your funeral was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
Mom,
Strong, Courageous, Inspiring, her heart enormous, laughter contagious, her wit unmatched by many.
Today we say our final goodbye, may you now find peace reunited with loved ones in the afterlife, a life you always had a strong connection with.
Love you
Couldn’t have done it without the support of my wonderful wife Fallon Caines
