Phil Little"s Remembrance
Thursday past the family and friends gathered at the Royal Oak Cemetery near Victoria. On the way down over the Malahat it was cloudy with a bit of rain. Arriving at the cemetery the sky opened with sunshine to greet the group gathering for the internment of Chris’ ashes.
The ceremony was conducted by Christie, with her sisters Ruth and Lisa taking different parts. Christie was assisted by Chris’ good friend, Anglican priest Gregg Shoop. The beautiful wood urn was lowered by Chris’ only grandson Ammon after all the grandchildren had a small part in the ceremony.
In attendance were some of the Island Corpus group, Art and Allana Menu, Francois Brassard, Michael Zarb, and Phil and Anne Marie.
