Good night, Flavia, we know we will see you again in heaven.
How can we condense a life of selfless service and love into a few paragraphs ?
Flavia adopted our whole family when we first moved to Fredericton NB, she loved us like her own children. She was Mimi to our kids. They were at home in the welcome created by Flavia and Eben. She was a problem solver - always advocating on behalf of one person or the other. Always finding someone new to cheer up, to help.
We joked about her knack for finding one more person to help, one more person to support.
She carried her own burdens without complaining, and would take yours too, in a heartbeat.
Flavia was a woman of faith - she encouraged us to be strong when things looked bleak. I once had to ask her how she could be so upbeat all the time, and she pointed me to her faith in God.
She made us laugh with her witty sense of humour.
We love and miss you so much. We can't believe you are really gone. Our only solace from all this is knowing you are re united with Eben, forever in the presence of God.
