Tracy faced many challenges in her unique life and each one she met with a courage that can only be understood by the angels of God. Her tiniest gains were a huge triumph that changed the way family, friends, health-care providers and teachers viewed life. Tracy also taught little children to love unconditionally and that everyone is equal in God’s eyes. She helped others slow down, appreciate the small things, and blessed us with a witness to the power of courage, strength, patience and, most of all, love. Tracy helped all those who were blessed to know her, discover something good in themselves. Her parents, Lorraine and the late Jim Bartlett; brother, James, along with her special angels Lloyd and Patsy Mansfield have not only sustained a fragile life, but have watched it blossom under their tender, loving care.

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun is set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that once we shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must make, And each must go alone, It’s all part of the Master’s plan. A step on the road to home. So when you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me Go! |

Frank was a son of the late Charles J. (Soln) and Rose (Smith) Bernard, of Waycobah. Frank was born on May 10, 1948, in Sydney, where the family lived while Charles worked at the Sydney Steel Plant. A few years later, Frank spent the early years of his life as a child growing up in Eskasoni. In his early teens, they moved to Waycobah First Nation, where he spent the rest of his life. He also spent time travelling and going to school in Ontario but returned home to help the family and took great pride as a woodsman for many years. He spoke many times of the healthy lives they lead as young men but mentioned the struggles of being raised in First Nation communities with the poverty levels they experienced. He enjoyed fixing up cars and was a big fan of Elvis all his life, every so often you could hear him singing to some 60s tunes. Severe diabetes affected his ability to move and live a normal life over the last 10 years especially with the amputation of his leg.

He was just shy of his 93rd birthday. Born on April 24, 1917, he was the youngest child of Ernest and Ellen (Grantmyre) Campbell. He was predeceased by his brother, Ollie and sisters, Eva Rutherford and Libby MacDonald. Everett is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Fi (Frances Bruce) and children, Bruce (Nansea Tomalty), Antigonish, Lisa (Paul) Patterson, Sydney Forks and Glennie (Darin) Paton, Cochrane, Alta. He was dear Papa to grandchildren, James (Alison) Morrison, Jill (Chris) Morrison Campbell, Robert Patterson, Galen Conroy, Beatrice Campbell-Raymond, Laurie and Rachael Paton and great-grandchild, Everett Morrison. He is also survived by his loving nieces, Erna (Rutherford) Blasko, Elenor (MacDonald) Francis and Cheryl (Rutherford) Allen; nephews, Grant Campbell and Butch MacDonald; brother-in-law, Bill Bruce and sister-in-law, Jeannie Theile. Also dear to Everett's heart were Bill Hunter, Judy Hazell, Brenda Conroy and Lorne MacPhail. Growing up in the North End of Sydney, his fondest childhood memories were of swimming across Sydney Harbour to Westmount and the times he spent helping at his maternal grandparents farm on the North West Arm. Everett served in the Battle of the Atlantic as a de-coder on the Frigate HMCS Runnymede. After the war ended, he returned to Cape Breton and to his job with the CNR, retiring in 1978. Throughout Everett's life, his deep faith was nurtured in the church. One of God's gifts to Everett was a wonderful bass voice which was enriched and developed by studies with May Walshman. Beginning in the St. Andrew's choir, and then with the choir of the Sydney River United Protestant Church, Everett sang well into his 80s. He was a founding member of the Cape Breton Chorale and was an invited guest soloist in many churches around Cape Breton. Often accompanied on piano by his loving wife, music was an integral part of their marriage. An extremely creative and contemplative man, Everett appreciated beauty in nature and in the arts. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a highly developed dry wit. He took great pride in the renovations and additions to their 200 year old farm house and his beautiful flower garden. It seemed only fitting that Everett would remain at home until his passing. This was made possible by the tender care provided by Dr. Steve MacDougall, the services of County Home Care, Veteran's Affairs, VON and Palliative Care. The family is deeply grateful to these people, along with the many dear friends who provided comfort and support over the past few years. In keeping with Ev's wishes, a simple graveside service will be held with his family. Everett was a generous and kind man, and was quick to provide to those in need. In honour of his spirit of sharing and giving, donations in Everett's memory can be made to Loaves and Fishes. "May happiness blow on secret winds and surround you forever in the ways of beauty."

Our mother, wife, sister, grandmother, and friend has lost her five-year battle with cancer. She is now peacefully joining her late father Louis Arsenault and other loved ones passed. Valerie was not only a loving wife, mother and sister, she was also a woman with many accomplishments. Her thirst for knowledge began as a nursing student at St. Rita Hospital and continued through to St. Francis Xavier where she received her BSC in nursing. The love she had for education and creativity has taken Valerie down many paths in her career. One of her favourite adventures was D’Vals Comforting Creations. Many people still remember Valerie as D’Val the gift shop owner with a heart of gold and a black belt in kindness. You would remember her if you’ve met her. She is the type of person to touch your soul in some way or another. Valerie was born Aug. 26, 1954, in Sydney and grew up a spirited little red headed girl on Fairhaven Drive in Westmount. She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Mary and Maurice MacDonald; sisters, Mary Lou (Tom) Stobbs and Corinne (Kurt) Albiez and brother, John (Ruth) Arsenault. Valerie will be missed and remembered by her devoted husband, Lloyd Chartrand; her three children, Katie (Craig) Hodder, Jonnie (Kaitlin) Chartrand and Mary Chartrand. ‘Grammy Valerie’ will live on in the hearts of her grandchildren, Lily Anne and Jude Rylan. Our family would like to thank the staff of the CBRH cancer centre and all of the angels up on the palliative care floor. Valerie herself enjoyed the many years she worked as a nurse and to be the one receiving such loving care from your healing hands touched her heart deeply and ours too. Thank you all! Following cremation, we invite all who were touched by Valerie, to join us for visitation at Chants Funeral Home, Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010, from 6-9 p.m. A private family burial will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Valerie’s memory can be made to the CBRH cancer centre and the palliative care unit. Valerie had once quoted “Pets are like children in fur coats.” Donations to the SPCA would be an amazing way to keep Valerie’s compassion for animals alive.

| Collins | Patricia (MacNeil) Collins | CBP | 17/07/2010 | Patricia (MacNeil) Collins Born in: North Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada Born on: 23/12/1934 Passed away in: North Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada Passed away on: 17/07/2010 It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that the family announces the peaceful passing of our dearest wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and sister, Patricia Jane (MacNeil) Collins. Patsy died on Thursday, July 15, 2010 after a short but courageous battle with breast cancer, in her 75th year. Born Dec. 23, 1934 in North Sydney, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Eva (Roy) MacNeil. Although she was a stay at home mom, her office was the kitchen table, where she worked alongside her husband Joe, running the family business, Pat J. & Sons Trucking, for over 30 years. In the early years of their marriage, Dad's army career saw them living in many places; Marystown, Nfld., Oromocto and Gagetown, N.B. She set sail in Quebec and crossed the Atlantic ocean with three little boys in tow, to meet up with dad in Germany; coming back with one more. They returned to Cape Breton in 1965, and brought eight more children into the fold in the next nine years. An avid sports fan, she loved her Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Blue Jays. It was a dream come true to fly to Toronto to see her Jays playing baseball. She was a member of the Wednesday night ladies bowling league in North Sydney and Sydney Mines for over 40 years, serving as a committee member on several occasions. She volunteered with the Rotary Mile of Money, the Crippled Children's clinics, as well as a member of the North Sydney Kinettes for many years. She was a member of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, North Sydney. Patsy enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles and playing cards, especially cribbage. Sunday was card night at Nanny's where she and her sisters and brothers-in-law enjoyed a game of Auction '120'. She was famous for her cooking, especially her homemade turkey soup, cabbage rolls and hamburger Saturdays 'Glory Days'. Her greatest accomplishment was receiving her drivers license at the age of 52. Thanks Buck! She is survived by her best friend and soul mate of 57 years, Floyd 'Joe'; and their 12 children, Glenn (Patricia), Blair, Joey (Joyce), Tanya, Bobby, Craig (Diane), Lee (Debbie), Dana (Tracey), Dawn (Bob), Trudy (Gerard), Duane, Todd (Shauna); she will be dearly missed by her 29 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and one great great grandchild. She was also 'Ma' to so many more, as it was no surprise to find an extra pair of feet or two under the dinner table! She is also survived by her sisters, Mary Witherall, RoseAnn Gillis, Elaine Wall, Eva MacNeil, Lynn Pottie (Carl) and Evelyn MacNeil; brother Roy (Janet); sisters-in-law Marion Gouthro, Yvonne Collins, Mary Steele-Boston; brother-in-law Howie Collins, and many nieces and nephews. As well as her parents she was predeceased by her mother and father-in-law, Elizabeth and Wilson Collins; brother, Charles (Dobbie) MacNeil'; brothers-in-law, Bill Witherall, Howard Gillis, Harvey Wall, Martin Collins, Wilson 'Jeep' Collins, Frank Gouthro; sisters-in-law, Frances Collins, Maureen Collins and nephew Thomas Collins. The family would like to express heartfelt thanks to all the doctors and nurses and staff on the fourth floor, palliative care unit at the Northside General Hospital. Special thanks to Dr. Bernie MacIntosh, who mom adored dearly. Hugs and kisses to all her angels by her side during her illness. Cremation has taken place. The family will receive visitors Sunday, July 18, 2010 from 7-9 p.m. in the W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney. A funeral mass will be held Monday, July 19, 2010 at 10 a.m. from St. Joseph Church, North Sydney with Rev. Jim Attwood officiating.
