Arrangements have been entrusted to Serenity Lindsay Funeral Home, ( Wolfville Chapel, 568 Main Street)542-4656 Linda(Lynda) Harpell Born in Orillia, Ontario But raised in the East You were a girl of Urbania, Nova Scotia A loving daughter and artiste A gifted writer and voracious reader A lover of all things furry Always quiet, not a leader Never really in a hurry Growing up with country, summer days Working on the farm, in the woods and the sun Lazy rainy days of Monty Python, Star Trek and fun Your days at university Saint Marys, was it not? Where you spread your wings with all your work For a Masters, Cum Laude, you fought To graduate and work each day So close to books held dear To grow and speak to a larger world About poverty and fear Then troublesome times beset you Of that so well aware The person locked inside you Was always of good cheer MS is not a kind master It took so much from you Long before your time you left A shell of what had grew You know that you will be greatly missed But know that day will come For you to stand and take your place Among the greatest throng Because you grew to know the name Of the Almighty One So take your rest, sleep well, my dear You deserve to take your leave And know that when you awake, we will be standing there
