VALENTINE _ In loving memory of Dorothy, a loving and cherished wife of Worden Valentine, sadly missed forever by pre-deceased infant son, Robert Douglas in 1945, mother of Sylvia Hodgins (Lee), Marilyn Walker (Wendel), loving grandmother of Kevin Walker (Anne), Terri-Lynn Knapp (Rob), Blake Hodgins, Bonnie Hodgins, and great grandmother of Hannah, Jake and Eli Walker, and Jenna, Cameron and Gregory Knapp. For two years, her courage and perseverance with ALS which moved her slowly to a Heavenly Home, on October 26 2002, at Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. Her amazing courage with never a complaint gave inspiration to all who cared for her daily needs. We met 64 years ago and for 62 years of a wonderful marriage we respected each others thoughts and wishes. I treasure 26 winters in Florida and 14 cruises which added memories of places afar. She spent her last years in her home she loved so much, and for me, I feel so blessed that I was able to care for her. She always regretted the extent of my efforts to give her rest and comfort. Her love and care for me she always showed by an upraised hand, that everything was OK, and she indicated to me each evening, (Worden, it’s Happy Hour), a time to sit and rest awhile while I play bridge or solitaire on the computer. The family has a high regard for Dr. Alkenbrack who cared for Dorothy as a patient and a friend. Dr. Alkenbrack and Dr. Melanson with all their skills knew that her days with us would be short, much shorter than we all had hoped. She left her worldly home in a calm and peaceful manner. As I held her in arms, her upraised hand meant Yes. A short time before her passing she asked for a writing pad and the last word she wrote was (UP). Sincere thanks to CCAC, Life Line, and dedicated VON nurses who arranged their nightly visits, Red Cross Support, SOS and Hospice volunteers. I must make a special mention of a fine gentleman, Graham Christie, her first VON on May 4, 2001 and the last VON to give his utmost help to give her help and peace of mind before going to Napanee Hospital at 11:00 p.m. on October 25, 2002. Thanks Graham, from a grateful family. The beautiful floral arrangements and Memorial Donations show deep respect and regard for a wonderful and gentle person and a lady. I give sincere thanks to the eight pallbearers and to Reverend Marjory MacMartin for her sincere words and thoughts about Dorothy after two visits with her. The ladies from Trinity United Church did a remarkable catering service for those who returned from Riverview Cemetery to enjoy refreshments and convey last words of comfort and condolences to me and my family. -So sadly missed by Husband, and all family members.057914

William Glenn Smith On Saturday, November 16, 2002, at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, William Glenn Smith of Brockville peacefully reached The Other Shore as, with family by his side, his daughters softly sang to him the words of The Gospel Ship: "Gonna sail that gospel ship ’cross the river deep and wide, Gonna sing in that heav’nly choir on the other side, And on that great, great day I’ll leave my troubles all behind, When I sail that gospel ship across the river deep and wide." Treasured by Mavis Ellen (nee Brooks), his wife of 63 years, loving Father and Father-in-law to Heather Knack of Saramac Lake, N.Y. and Peter Knack of Louisville, Kentucky and Holly and John Welch of Lyn, Ontario. He was beloved Grandpa to Hillary Knack (Toronto), Christopher Knack (Windsor) and Darcie Knack (Louisville). He is survived, also, by his sister June Coates (Glenburnie) and brother Ted (Florence) of Ottawa, half-sister and half-niece Laura Kenny (Allan) of Gananoque, and sisters-in-law Jean Smith, Doreen Smith and Margaret Holthman, all of Kingston. In addition he is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews (however great.) Glenn was pre-deceased by his parents Helen Doherty and Theodore L. Smith and brothers Charlie, Ken and baby Donny, as well as sister-in-law Lillian and brother-in-law George Coates. Born on June 12, 1918 in Kingston, Glenn attended Zion United Church where he and Mavis met at Young Peoples’ in 1935. With the exception of his time stationed in Prince Rupert, BC as a navigator in the Canadian Air Force, he worked with his father and brothers in their family construction business in Kingston. In 1959 he moved his own family to Brockville where he opened Glenn Smith Building Services Limited, a highly-regarded and respected business founded on principles of honesty, integrity and skilled-craftsmanship. Glenn’s family was his major focus in life. Glenn and Mavis were among the founders of the Swingin’ Saints square dance club and in their later years remained active in line dancing and Tai-Chi. Glen was an avid reader, a skilled miniature-furniture hobbyist and an enthusiastic fisherman enjoying the sport with his son-in-law John. He and Mavis had recently returned from a fall vacation in Muskoka. Glenn’s life was remembered and celebrated on Tuesday, November 19 at the Barclay Funeral Home with the Reverend Roland Glendinning officiating. Grandson Chris and his close friend Nicole Dunsmore sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow, a favourite, meaningful to both Glenn and Mavis. The grandchildren’s remembrances of their Granddad were recounted by Hillary. The gathering was graced by The Riverside Singers’ rendition of The Gospel Ship and two favourite hymns were sung by the congregation "Son of My Soul" and "The Old Rugged Cross." Bearers accompanying Glenn’s remains were John Welch and Peter Knack, Hillary, Darcie and Chris Knack and Nicole Dunsmore. His ashes were committed to burial at Oakland Cemetery. Darcie gave one red rose to her Grandmother and seven white roses to the immediate family to place around the urn at the cemetery.
