TUNNEY ALBERT BETTS
The family of the late Tunney Albert Betts would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who shared in our recent loss. We are ever grateful to all for the expressions of sympathy, visits, food, charitable donations, cards, phone calls, flowers, attendance at the funeral parlour and at the funeral service and graveside; and those who travelled to be in attendance. Our love is extended to those family members who were also enduring loss of their loved ones at the same time. We would like to thank the EHS Paramedics, medical staff in the ER and the IMCU at the Cape Breton Regional and 5th and 2nd Floors in the Northside General for the wonderful care provided. Our thanks to Dr. Bernie MacIntosh and the Palliative Care team, we are ever grateful. We are indebted to Kollin Weatherbee and Sydney Memorial Chapel for their loving care and assistance at this most difficult time. Services were held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on May 22, 2014 with President James Kaine officiating. Memories were shared by family members, April MacLean, Jennifer Haley and Diane MacKinnon and the eulogy was given by Norman Macdonald. Hymns sung were "Have I Done Any Good in the World Today" and "There is Sunshine in My Soul" (two of Tunney's favourties) and Sister Hughes sang "O What Songs of the Heart", organist was Meghan Macdonald. Pallbearers were family members, Eddy Macdonald, Carl MacKinnon, Stephen Beaton, Dominic Gale, Perley Morley and Stephen Anderson, internment was in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens and the dedication of the grave was by Jim Demeyere. We are ever grateful for the blessing of having had this loving caring man in our midst as husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, relative and friend.
"Across the years I'll walk with you,
In deep green forests, on shores of sand,
And when our time on earth is through,
In Heaven, too, you'll have my hand."
