Christmas Hampers

For the past couple of years I have been involved in the Christmas hamper program at Cowichan Neighbourhood House.  It is a complicated undertaking to sort out all the donations that come in (we have lots of teddy bears and soap). From past experience it was found to be that there were certain gaps in donations especially teen boys and elderly. CNH developed the "adopt a family" to fill the gaps. Here are links to descriptions of the program

If you would like to help you can contact me or Neighbourhood House, at the old fire hall in Chemainus.

Dear Beloved Teddy ~

Now is your Time to fly with the eagles, dance through the stars, swim in the bioluminescence, laugh with the wind, sing with joy and peace and health. Your Trip, here on Earth, has been filled with strength, courage, wisdom, curiosity, humour, compassion, love, concern, guidance and faith - and now your Journey continues.  You make the Way for us to follow as you have done so often for so many of us.  We love you and you are in our hearts as we are in yours. Take to the Sky, the Earth and Sea - Everywhere, dear Teddy.  Just think - Everywhere with Everyone you want to see and hold. 

Safe Journey, Dear One.  Go with God.

Teddy instructed us to not hold a memorial service on Island.  In spite of being vivacious and socially/community minded, Teddy was also a very private Spirit.  Thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt condolences.

Merry & Arthur Gooding
