You Are Invited to the Celebration of Nada’s Life

You’re invited for the last visit at the Glen Oaks Memorial Gardens (3164 Ninth Line, at 403 & Dundas St., Oakville, 905-257-1100), on Saturday, March 12 at 10:00 a.m.

After the visitation, the celebration of life service starts at 11 a.m. At this time we will watch a 12-minute video dedication to Nada’s life, set to music by Sade and Natalie Cole.

I will say a few words, if I will be able, but most importantly we’d like to hear from you! Feel free to stand up and take as much time as you need to remember the good times you experienced with Nada. Or simply tell us how Nada touched your life. If you’ve never met Nada that’s OK, you can still share with us. Remember, we’re celebrating Nada’s life, not mourning.

There will be a live musical performance by Adrienne Pringle, who will sing us a song she wrote for our kids Maja and Luka. Adrienne wrote the music and lyrics around the few important words Nada wanted to leave to the kids to remember.

At around noon we will leave the chapel for internment of the urn. At this time you will be able to place a memento inside the urn vault. This can be a letter to Nada or any small object you’d like Nada to have along for the last journey.

After the funeral we will all return to the main building for lunch. It will be an opportunity for all of us to reacquaint with one another, or perhaps meet for the first time.

I hope to see you there.
