AGNES HAY
CARD OF THANKS
“Agnes (MacLeod) Hay”
The entire family of Agnes Hay have been so moved by the outpouring of love and compassion during her recent passing. The recalling of happy times down “Memory Lane” from 4 Cameron, Reserve Mines and Mira brought such comfort and consolation to all of us. This most dear free-spirited, religious, compassionate and very humorous lady known as “Ag” more fondly by family and close friends, will live forever in all hearts. To say thank you would not suffice, as it is virtually impossible to thank you all individually, who gave so freely and kindly of your time. To her “Guardian Angels” for serving us all at our time of sorrow with very tasty meals provided by our dear, kind, loving neighbors and friends. We thank you all for care giving, gifts of food, telephone calls, e-mails, sympathy and Mass cards, donations to Newsom, monetary gifts, beautiful floral tributes and a tree planted in Israel in her memory. Agnes reaped “a bountiful harvest” from the seeds sown in her 97 years, by all of you, who paid tribute to her. How very comforting! We, the Hay family, offer our sincere thanks on Agnes’s behalf to Rev. Michael Goodfellow, Newsom Church, Rev. Dr. John Finlayson, Knox United Church, organist Lynn Rosta, soloists Judy MacLeod “Creation will be at Peace” Roy Rideout “Jesus on the Shoreline” her favorite Anthems. Hymns “Unto the Hills”, “In the Garden” and “Softly and Tenderly” sung with love by Newsom Choir. To her son-in-law Al Redding for a eulogy delivered with much love and humour. T o Charlie and Ethel Campbell for her favorite Biblical readings Psalm 4 and Corintheans 1-13. To grand and great grandchildren who travelled from N.B. to say farewell to “Nana Hay” in inclement weather.
