THOMPSON, Kenneth C.

1944-2009. It is with great sadness we say goodbye to our father, Kenneth C. Thompson. Ken passed away on January 30, 2009 at the age of 64, with his family at his side. Ken is survived by his daughter, Kim (Shaun); his sons, Steven (Sharon) and Michael; granddaughters, Sarah, Sonah, Caileigh and Shayanna; grandson, Lachlan and only great-granddaughter, Jayanna Nicole. Our father was a man of simplicity. He valued his family above all other facets of life. He devoted his life to his family, always putting his children first. Dad has left us with many memories and we will always cherish the time we had with him. Dad died knowing how much we loved him. Ken was also a friend to many. He enjoyed getting together for coffee and quick chats about life with his friends. Dad was always happy to have a knock at his door and refused no one. As we hold our memories in our hearts we know they will also. Thank you to his friends at Alderney Manor who took the time to care for dad over the last few weeks of his life as well as the nursing staff on 3 East at the Dartmouth General Hospital. Although we will miss his presence, his laugh and his sense of humor, we look forward to seeing him again as we know that dad went home to be with his Lord when he left this world. Cremation has taken place under the direction of A.L. Mattatall Funeral Home. At his request, we will not be holding a service. In lieu of flowers please make donations to The Lung Association or Canadian Cancer Society.

CAMERON (Amirault), Fidelis Marie

Passed away at the age of 103, on January 31, 2009 in Villa St. Joseph du Lac in Dayton, Yarmouth Co. Born in Middle East Pubnico on June 13, 1905, she was the daughter of the late Charles V. and Annie M. Amiro/Amirault. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Besides her parents and siblings, Fid was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Laurence C. Cameron; her son Theodore (Teddy) in infancy; daughter, Shirley; daughter-in-law, Maria (Mary) DeJong-Cameron; and grandchildren, Shirley Cameron, Janita Cameron, Cindy Cameron, and Kenny DeJong. She is survived by her sons, Richard (Claudette), Lower East Pubnico; Robert (Judith), Halifax; grandchildren Pamela (Joe) MacDonell, Sharon (Doug) Charlton and Laurence (Denise) Cameron; seven great-grandchildren; and "special adoptive daughter", Gertrude Morse, Centreville. Mom's first love was her family. A dedicated wife and mother, the happiness and needs of her family always came first. Self-sacrifice wasn't a chore to her but a labour of love. Humility was her trademark. A talented pianist and organist, Mom began playing the piano at the age of five and continued to play piano and organ until a few weeks before her passing. She always down-played her talents while praising the talents of others. As a resident of the Villa she frequently entertained fellow residents and guests with music especially from the thirties and forties. A devout Catholic, she especially loved her church and religious music and throughout her life she was church organist wherever her husband's army career took the family. Before her daughter, Shirley, passed away, Shirley sowed the seeds for a "home-away-from-home" for family and friends of patients to stay near the Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville. Shirley's wish was that this place, which became a reality in 1989, be known as "Fidelis House" in honour of her mother-an honour Mom treasured dearly. On her 100th birthday, Mom was also honoured with a framed blessing from the late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, signed just a few days before his passing. Sons, Richard and Robert, and their families wish to sincerely thank the Hospitaliers Religeuses de St. Joseph, especially Sister Alphonsine LeBlanc, and all staff members of the Villa for their care and love over the time Mom was a resident. Thanks also to Doctor Julie Chandler and everyone who contributed in any way to her care and well-being. The remains have been cremated and a memorial mass will be held in Immaculate Conception Church in Middle East Pubnico at a later date, followed by a reception at the East Side Community Hall. Memorial donations may be made to Fidelis House Society, The Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre for cancer research or a charity of one's choice.
