In memory of a dear husband, Dad and Pepere who passed away 7 years ago January 16th 2012.

Time may hide the sadness
Like a smile that hides the tears
But precious memories never fade
Throughout the passing years
There is a place that is kept apart
In the depths of our hearts
A corner that is always your own
No one can replace it,
Nor can time erase it
It's kept for you alone

Always loved and missed forever
Wife Maria, Son Ron and grandchildren Nick, Molly and Emily

Pastor Marilyn Britton

27 May 2019

The family of the late Pastor Marilyn Britton thank all those who express love and sympathy to us after the recent move to Heaven by our beloved Marilyn wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, pastor and friend. Your kindness expressed through food, flowers, cards, memorials in Marilyn's honour, testimonials, and attendance at the viewing and at the Going Away Party is so much appreciated.

Our Dad, Pastor David Britton, designed and conducted the service with a heart to honour Marilyn as she honoured God. Their son, Pastor Dan, lead the congregational in singing "Going Away Party", "When we all get to Heaven", "Let There Be Joy", and "We Will Dance". Daughter-in-law Susan performed a beautiful liturgical dance to one of Marilyn's favourite songs, "I Can Only Imagine". Nathanael Jones, grandson, sang the hymn that expressed Marilyn's philosophy of life, "Make me a Blessing", set to music that he composed. Andrew, their oldest son prepared the beautiful floral arrangements. Daughter Cheryl joined her brothers in attending to the many details that required attention.

We thank Water & Wine Assembly of Christians for providing use of their sanctuary for the viewing. Also, we deeply appreciate Rev. Blair Holden and the congregation of Gunningsville Baptist Church for their gracious hospitality in providing their facilities for the Going Away party and reception.

A special thanks to those from Catch the Fire church, Gunningsville Baptist church, Lower Coverdale Baptist church, and Water & Wine Assembly who prepared and served the food for the reception.

Thank you also to those who participated in the Going Away Party, including Rev. Jack Allen, who gave the Invocation and read scripture, Rev. Michael and Joyce Kaye who sang one of Marilyn's favourite songs, "I Want to Stroll Over Heaven with You", Rev. Jonathan Gorham, who gave the homily, Rev. Charles Cook, who did the Committal at the church, and Rev. Wayne Johnson, who assisted Pastor Solomon Pitre, did the grave side committal. We also deeply appreciate the expressions of love and condolences from the many of the other clergy in the area.

The pallbearers were grandsons Ryan Bastarache, Caleb Britton, Nathanael Jones, brother-in-law John Rae, family Pastor Solomon Pitre, and special friend George Nelson.

Another special thank you to the staff of the Moncton City Hospital, especially those in the 5600 and 3600 wards. We will forever be grateful for the tender care that Marilyn received. May God richly bless you for your kindness. We also appreciate our Dad spending the two months that Marilyn was in the hospital, staying at her side both night and day, an inspiring demonstration of love. We also appreciate daughter Cheryl, daughter-in-law Susan, and sister Judy Rae, joining Dad in the hospital during the final two weeks, and Andrew keeping them supplied with food.

The beautiful oak coffin was designed and constructed by craftsman Joel Tower out of the church pews from the church that Marilyn co-pastored with her husband.

We also thank Adam Greene for posting the Going Away Party to YouTube (Search: Marilyn Brittons Funeral).

Marilyn had attended for about two years the Day Program for dementia sufferers at the Kenneth Spencer Home and we also want to thank Debbie and the staff for the loving care and enjoyment that Marilyn experienced there.

We also thank our family doctor, Dr. Brian Davidson for his attentive care for over 25 years.

Donations were made in Marilyn's memory to the Gideons, Friends of the Moncton Hospital, the Mission Thrift Store, and over two thousand dollars to support pastors in Cuba.

We also thank Moores Clothing, Swiss Chalet (Mountain Rd.), and Dr. Monic Nadeau-Boudreau and Brunswick Optical for their kindness. As well, we thanks Rick Bell and Tuttle's Funeral Home for their sensitive and efficient service.

And finally, we thank God for putting this amazing lady in our midst and for the 58 years of marriage that we celebrated with 58 roses and Chinese food a week before she left.

REMERCIEMENTS

Alphonsine Babineau – 1 avril 2019 C’est avec profonde gratitude que nous voulons remercier sincèrement toutes les personnes pour le support et le soutien lors du décès de notre chère maman, décédée le 1 avril, 2019. Nous avons été touchés par vos fleurs, vos cartes, la nourriture, appels, courriels, les visites au salon funéraire avec pleins d’affection, d’amitiés, bons souvenirs et par votre présence aux funérailles.

Un merci sincère à la parenté qui a voyagé de Halifax, d’Edmundston, de l’Ontario, de la Gaspésie et du Massachusetts aux États–Unis pour être avec nous durant ces moments difficiles. Un merci spécial pour TOUS les dons et particulièrement pour les dons au Fonds Joël Gallant parce que mame avait une place spéciale dans son cœur pour Joël.

Nous avons grandement apprécié le Père Robert Savoie qui a présidé la célébration des funérailles, accompagné du P. Edmour Babineau, P. Alphonse Richard et P. Raymond Richard. Merci à Daniel et Paul qui ont servi la messe, aux lectrices Brigitte, Tina, Isabelle, au magnifique chant de Sylvie et Pauline et l’organiste Jeanne–Mance ainsi que la participation des petits–enfants et arrière–petits–enfants pour le chant final. Merci aux personnes qui ont préparé le bon lunch, au salon funéraire La Coopérative Funéraire Passage pour la compassion et excellents services.

Zachary, 5 ans, arrière–petit–fils, quand il a appris le décès de sa mémère a dit : « Ah! Elle est réveillée, elle est au ciel. ». Avec cette foi d’enfant, nous croyons que mame continue de nous aimer et qu’ « elle ne nous oubliera jamais » comme dans le chant final de la célébration funéraire « À la claire fontaine » et que nous non plus, nous ne l’oublierons jamais. En sa mémoire, continuons de remplir nos journées de bonté, d’amour et d’appréciation pour la v ie.

Denise, Charles, Louis et Lucille
