Randy Mercer 10 hrs · A heart-felt thank you from our family to yours. September 1st was a sad and tragic day for our family with the passing our beloved mother Naomi Mae Mercer. To those of you who provided food and drink at the funeral home thank you for helping fill our empty bellies, your kind words of condolence helped mend our broken hearts and heal our empty souls. My mother was blessed to have been surrounded by those who loved her. When you are grief stricken it’s hard to recall the faces of all those who placed a gentle hand on your shoulder or whispered a kind and comforting word in my ear, Please know I felt each and every gentle touch and heard your kind words of compassion and condolence, we appreciate your presence as well as your prayers. We’d like to thank ‘Our Mother’s’ brothers and sisters Cyril , Gloria ,Cynthia and Ross and their extended famlies for being there for our family. Thank you for the family wreath it was beautiful , and a special thank you to Gloria and Ted who flew home to be here for our mother and her children. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to our beloved father’s family for being there for us , your kind words of sympathy and understanding made our grief a little easier to bare. A very special ” thank you” to Yvonne’s family who sent flowers , provided meals and opened their hearts and homes to our family. Your kind and generous offerings were appreciated more then words alone can say. Our heart-felt thanks to Ivy and the staff at Whitbourne Foodland.

To my extended family and friends . September 1st was a sad and heart wrenching day for our family. Our darling mother Naomi Mae Mercer passed peacefully away in hospital at Fort McMurray Alberta. She had been under the constant care of doctors since January. It’s so tragic to loose your mother,it leaves you with a void that’s inpossiable to fill.My wife said at sixty one years old you feel like an orphan’ she’s so right. We sometimes take our mother’s love and affection for granted, not realizing that someday she won’t be there’ well someday comes sooner then you think.

Mothers have an unconditional love for her children wheather the child is six or sixty one , and the bond between them can’t be broken or deminished and only grows stronger with time. As a child mothers nourish love and protect you . but I found as I grew older the roles have been reversed and i just want to love cherish and protect my mom even more then she did me. My darling mother and father had the ability to guide me in the direction they felt was best for me by saying the same thing in two different ways that would result in the same out come. My father would say don’t forget your prayers. My mother would teach me what prayers to say. My father would say fight for what you believe in. My darling mother would say’ is what you believe in worth fighting for. My father would say work hard and be a man. My mother would say do the best you can and always remember to be a gentle and loving father. My mom was a tiny […]
