Due to Ontario's Covid-19 restrictions, the funeral home can only accommodate up to 35 people in the funeral home at one time for the visitation. (Guests must be wearing their masks and allow proper social distancing.) The funeral home will be enforcing the 2-metre rule for any lineup that should occur during the visitation.

Because the smallness of our being

is our only greatness.

Because one night I was in a room

listening until only one heart beat.

Because in these last years I’ve

worn and worn and nearly worn out

my black funeral shoes.

Because the gesture of after words

means the same thing no matter

who speaks them.

Because faith belief forever

are only words, no matter.

Because matter disappears

always and eventually.

Because action is not matter

but energy

that spent, changes being.

And if death, too, is a change of being

perhaps action counts.

And if death is a land of unknowing,

perhaps we do well to live with uncertainty.

And if death is a forested land,

it would be good to learn trees.

And if death is a kingdom,

it would be good to practice service.

And if death is a foreign state

we should loosen allegiance to this one.

And if the soul leaves our body

then we must rehearse goodbye.
