February 26, 2000, surrounded with the love of family and friends. At 18, she
began a short career with Maritime Tel & Tel and then went on to become a
full-time mother to her son and caregiver to many other precious little
children over the last 23 years. As a wife, she shared a deep quality of love
and dignity, a gentle heart and true devotion. As a mother, she loved her son
with the utmost love and care of which her soul was capable. As a friend, she
was an "Earth Angel", always there to listen and encourage, standing
by to help you grow, providing love, strength and support. As a sister, she was
the youngest, with a keen sense of intelligence and strong sense of family
respect bringing with her much love, hope, joy and affection to their
relationship. She was never an "in-law", but another "daughter"
and another "sister". As Essie, she was loved and cherished not only
by the children, but by the parents as well. Esther will be lovingly remembered
for her child-like love and affection, her true compassion and kindness to
others and to many, "a spark of light in
someone's dark night". Her kindred spirit, her strength and selfless love
left us in awe, leaving us
to feel blessed for having known her. Although your parting has saddened us, we
share in your happy reunion with Mama and Papa and your brothers. May the
Angels surround you all, and thank-you Esther, for having enriched our lives,
for cherished memories and for making a difference. She is survived by her
husband, Lawrence; son, Shannon; brothers, Henry, Halifax; Narcisse, Louisdale;

This obituary was in today's Halifax Herald for Adeline, wife of my
uncle, Wilfred Anthony 'Ginger' Fougère. I have several photos of Adeline
on Mary and Henry Fougère's River Bourgeois website: http://www.angelfire.com/folk/henrymaryfolks/
Adeline was a lovely lady. After raising their many children, she and
Uncle Ginger moved from Halifax to River Bourgeois where Ginger spent his final
years. Following that time, Adeline returned to Halifax and she
maintained a very active lifestyle, including travel adventures. She had a very
short time of known illness -- just a few weeks.
If anyone has the family line of Pacian and Angeline (Bouchard) Burke,
parents of Adeline, I would appreciate hearing from
you.

FORGERON, Donald Anthony - 64, Musquodoboit Harbour (formerly of Halifax). It
is with sorrow and heavy hearts that we share with you the passing of Donald
after a courageous battle with leukemia. He was surrounded by his loving family
and peacefully left this world and walked home holding God's hand. He was a
devoted husband, loving father, and a loving Papa to his grandchildren. Donald
was born in Halifax on March 2, 1942, a son of Anthony "Tony" Forgeron
and Mary Irene Forgeron. The most important thing in Donald's life was his love
and devotion to his family. He had a distinct smile and twinkle in his eye
which was evident to all who met him and it is humbling to see all the lives
that Donald touched in so many ways. Donald was predeceased by his brother,
Joseph "Sonny", who is with his beloved brother once again. Donald is
survived by his soul mate and faithful wife of 43 years, Carol Ann (Laphen);
his beloved daughters, Shannon (Howie) English, Renee (Hans) Webber. He was the
cherished Papa to grandchildren, Haley, Anthony, Shane and Foster; dear brother
to Shirley (Vern) Trottier and Robert (Kay); much-loved uncle to Stephanie,
Jeff, Michelle, Andrea, Jayme and Roxanna. Donald was a "jack-of-all-trades"
and could put his hand to anything from cooking to woodworking. He started
working for Nova Scotia Power in 1961. He worked as a meter reader until 1970
then as a meter installer to his retirement in 1993. Donald was an avid
outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time at his
"Camp" in Goshen, Guysborough Co. There are countless family members
and friends who shared many special and happy memories of times spent outdoors
with him. Donald was also an animal lover who loved and enjoyed the company of
many faithful canine companions. As a family we spent many happy times at the
Cottage in East Petpeswick, family vacations in West Arichat (Cape Breton) and
of course Sunday supper with "Big Don's" cooking. His great strength,
faith and spirit never faltered through his seven month fight with leukemia and
he never lost hope. He was so thankful to the nurses and doctors who looked
after him in Palliative Care at Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital. Donnie and Carol
Ann spent their retirement years together at their oceanfront home and enjoyed
many happy times there with family and friends. Cremation has taken place and
visitation will be in Atlantic Funeral Home, Bayers Road, Halifax, from 2-4 and
7-9 p.m. Wednesday, November 29. Mass of Christian Burial will be in Blessed
Mother Theresa Parish (formerly St. Stephen's) 6290 Normandy Dr., on Thursday,
