Obituary of Jeanette Anne Rousseau
I take my final journey today
My daughter by my side at the bay
At peace I go as I bid goodbye
Remember me well and do not cry
For I have gone fishing and there is no curfew
Our memories I will cherish as I did you

We can’t ever say good bye in one day or with one ritual…we spend a lifetime saying goodbye.
