Obituary of Sandra Laverne Dewar

There have been bad times but those memories are far out-shadowed and forgotten under the spotlight of a lifetime of love and laughter shared with my beloved siblings: Bonnie (Carmen) Wease, Bruce Dewar, Phoebe Dewar, Doug (Marilyn) Dewar, and Helen (Ron) Butcher, all of whom I could count on for support in whatever I did, not only through my illness, but my entire life. Nowhere could a person find a kinder, more supportive family.
My siblings also provided me with a succession of playmates in the form of nieces and nephews: Wayne (Holly) Wease and Sherri (Steve) Johnson; Brooke Dewar; Greg (Kristy) Cundill, Kerri-Anne (Rob) Hinds and Kathleen (Chris) Black; Taryn (Tahseen) Mushtaque and Kyla Dewar; and Mandy Butcher. You have all been a fountain of joy and pride as I have watched you all grow into the wonderful adults you have become. I am proud to have played even a small part in that process.
Thank you: Brandon and Megan Wease; Ryan, Kyle and Ali Johnson; Aiden and Julianna Cundill; Seth, Nathan, Elizabeth and Lilly-Anne Hinds; and Hailey and Haven Black for indulging my teasing and playing with me. You have all been a source of great joy.
As if it were not enough to have been blessed with good family, I have also enjoyed laughter and adventure with friends - whether with long time friends like Kathy or slightly newer friends like Antoinette, Joanne and Rosemary. All sharing a spirit of adventure and who gifted to me good food, laughter and overwhelming generosity.
Co-workers from SGS, as a company and individuals alike - Carie, Gayle, Marika and Ruth have been particularly kind.
If you are reading this, it means I have completed the journey on this side of the veil. I have no idea what awaits on the other side but I hope that you all achieve the level of contentment I have achieved through your kindness on this side of the veil.
Lots of love,
Sandra

At Sandra’s request, cremation will take place and a family gathers to follow her wishes will take place. We, her immediate family, would like to thank everyone who helped her on her journey - other family members, friends, co-workers and health care providers.
