À la mémoire de...
Marina Stanley Melanson
1936 - 2025
Marina est née le 5 octobre 1936 à Gaspé, Qc. Elle a vécu une grande partie de sa vie à Montréal, pour ensuite déménager dans la magnifique région du Lac Brome dans les Cantons de l’Est où elle a résidé les vingt-six dernières années.
Elle était l’épouse de feu Danny Melanson et la dernière survivante de la famille de cinq sœurs et trois frères.
Très chère mère de Joanne (Gary) et Debbie (Frank), grand-mère de Kevin (Alison), Kelly (Matt), Holly (Cameron) et Corey ainsi qu’arrière-grand-mère de Avery, Desmond, Isla et Layla.
Écrire des poèmes était un de ses passe-temps préféré, également faire de longue marche avec ses amis, jouer au golf et bricoler dans son jardin. Les moments qu’elle chérissait le plus était lorsqu’elle se retrouvait avec sa famille. Elle manquera grandement à tous ceux et celles qui l’ont connu.

A poem written by our mother:
Just a dream
As I walked toward heaven’s gate,
I paused and looked all around,
I only felt peace and contentment,
As my feet left the ground.
I stepped back and wondered.
Should I Go forward and knock on the door?
I could see nothing but open space.
I realized then I was caught between.
Heaven and earth, and God’s loving grace.
As I stood there all alone.
What should I do I wondered,
Should I turn and go back home?
Like a small feather in the wind.
What would I find behind this door.
If I dare to enter in?
In that moment I realized
I experienced this before.
