Eulogy written and delivered by Mr. Ron King

MARJORIE LILLIAN MARTIN VOEGTLE
May 6, 1929 ~ March 28,2005

I am greatly honoured to have been asked to be a part of this celebration of the life of "Marjorie Lillian Martin Voegtle". As her brother-in-law I have seen her in many roles ~ as a loving, caring daughter to Esther and Dick, 'honey' to her life-long partner Mel and as a loving and ever supportive Mom to Sandy, Brian, Kathy and Kim. Marj was a much loved grandmother and great grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, cousin and friend to many.

As we celebrate and share our memories, let's focus for a few moments on what made Marj "Marj". There is a table grace I love to use ~ "Thank you, God, for family and friends in a world where many walk alone; thank you for food in a world where many go to bed hungry; thank you for faith in a world where many live without hope."

Marj's life fits so well into these three categories ~ family and friends, food, and faith.

Firstly, Marj was never rich in the conventional way, but she had all the wealth she desired in family and friends.
As a couple, Marj and Mel loved unconditionally and worked well together, sharing dreams and plans for their life together. Living apart for over a year while Mel worked long hours in Elliott Lake in order to accumulate the down payment on their home ~ a home they maintained with pride for close to fifty years. When Marj's illness was first diagnosed she told Mel, "we'll do what we have always done, we'll just do the best we can."

Marj's children have been left with a legacy of love and wonderful memories. She had a sense of adventure and love d to travel, but she was afraid of heights. This was a problem when she visited Kathy and Liz in Vancouver because of the bridges and mountain roads. In 1982 Marj made her first trip west with Tory and Kim. The prospect of going over the Lion's Gate Bridge was alarming to her. She was told to close her eyes and was placed in the middle of the front seat. Not one to miss anything, Marj squeezed her eyes closed but couldn't resist peeking and commenting on the sights as they crossed the bridge. She also insisted on taking her turn riding in the back of the pickup despite the difficulty getting her in and out. This would prove to be the first of many wonderful adventures Marj and Mel would have with Kathy and Liz over the years.

Marj always enjoyed being part of Sandy's exploits, and was, at times, a little scandalized at what Sandy would bring home ( hidden on various parts of her being) from one of her many trips to the U.S.A.

Called upon to face the illness and death of her firstborn, Marj found the inner strength that her faith provided, caring for Sandy throughout her struggle. She found courage to help her family through that very difficult time. This example was the one her family adopted as they cared for her in the same way over these past weeks.

The girls always said that Brian was the one who could do no wrong. He admits that perhaps his halo has acquired a few dents over the years, but he always managed to get back into his Mom's good graces. Marj was so proud of his appearances on the local news and always reported to him before he had had an opportunity to see the news himself.

For Marj, having Kim living at home gave her much pleasure. All of Kim's friends became her friends, perhaps in part because Marj had a wonderful ability to relate to people of all ages. She was able to recognize the needs of others and encourage them to look at the positive side, just as she did. Never learning to drive herself, she loved the girls' outings with Kim, which afforded her the independence which she really appreciated.

Marj never tired of talking ( pause ~ Oh, I wasn't supposed to stop there!) Marj never tired of talking about her grandchildren and great grandchildren ~ never tired of applauding their accomplishments. At gymnastic meets, dance recitals, soccer, hockey and ball games, baptisms and confirmations. Knowing each child so intimately, each birthday and Christmas gift was chosen with infinite care.
Marj's devotion to her grandkids was never more evident than when she was very ill ~ being made aware that it was the birthday of a granddaughter who was visiting, she offered a weak rendition of the birthday song and said "be sure to sign the card lots of love from Gramma."

Hundreds of photos and so much evidence of her love surrounding them will ensure that they will be aware each day of the legacy their Gramma left them.

Marj had six brothers and sisters who will remember ~
*Southampton summer vacations
*Marj's insistence that the Hit Parade was more important than the hockey game on Saturday night radio
*her cold feet always wrapped in her younger sister's nightie
*the extra pot of chili she made for her 'little' brother at the campgrounds
*the Sauble Beach euchre game which lasted for years and which Marj never won
*her presence at the 'sibling' luncheons
*her love of Swiss Chalet chicken soup and lemon pie
*the pajama party which took place around her bed on her last night on earth ~ the
laughter and the chocolates
*her never-failing interest and support in all of their lives family, friends, food…….

How could something so ordinary as food be so important in one's life? I believe Marj's hospitality was a ministry for her. Around the kitchen table, by the campfire, celebratory dinners in restaurants, Marj loved getting together! Over dinner she would listen, offer advice, provide comfort and encouragement.

Food was an outward expression of Marj's generosity and thoughtfulness. Each Christmas she made hundreds of cookies for the bazaar here at Holy Trinity and for special parcels for family and friends.

Kathy's Christmas parcel arrived in Vancouver on a Greyhound bus each December. In it would be Marj's cookies. In time there were two packages, one labeled Kathy and the other Liz. A few years ago Marj learned that Kathy's friend Karilee enjoyed her sugar cookies because they tasted just like her Mom's. Of course the next December there was an additional parcel labeled 'Karilee', who rationed her cookies so they would last until St. Patrick's Day.

Marj loved to eat, but she loved even more the fellowship that a meal always afforded. family and friends, food, faith.~
Often included in a celebration of life service is Psalm 23, the words very familiar to all of us. There is a story of a Sunday School teacher who spent some time talking with her students about this psalm and decided to challenge them to memorize it. Returning the following week, she asked if any student would care to recite the psalm. You may imagine how surprised she was when a four year old volunteered! Standing tall and giving a little curtsy, she said ~ "the Lord is my shepherd, and that's all I want"

This story illustrates a simple, trusting faith in a loving, caring God. This was Marj's faith ~ one which grew and developed through worship, Alpha courses, Womens' conferences, ACW retreats, prayer and bible study.

It is so fitting that we honour her life here in this sanctuary. Marj always said that the day she and Mel joined this faith community was the day their lives changed.

One of her church friends told me just yesterday ~ "Marj didn't just work at Holy Trinity with her hands, she worked with her heart" Marj was so proud of her ACW involvement, especially her nearly forty years as treasurer!

Marj, however, was not a saint. She was sometimes rather outspoken in her opinions, telling the leaders of this church that she didn't mind the contemporary music, but she wouldn't want a steady diet of it. She was known to have muttered a little about all of the money spent on the new organ as well.

Marj climbed many mountains in her life but with her faith and the unfailing support of her family and her church family she was able to overcome the obstacles. As in the past, the Holy Trinity family has been a source of help and encouragement over the past few months. The gift of the prayer service was one which encouraged her and convinced her that she was, indeed, special.

Marj was truly a woman of faith who honoured that faith with the way she lived her life. She left this world with the assurance that there was a room prepared for her, a room she would share with the loved ones who have gone ahead.

Several years ago, while traveling in Scotland, we had the opportunity to visit the Tall Ships in port in Edinburgh, touring them and meeting the crews. Returning another day, we watched as the ships sailed out of the harbour. What a magnificent sight! It was with a touch of sadness that we watched, realizing that this was something we would never see again. Then it occurred to us that there would be a wonderful welcome for them at their next port, with thousands ready to cheer them into the harbour.

Aren't we feeling a little that way today? Only in our memories will Marj be a part of our everyday lives. But,, think of the other shore, where a wonderful welcome awaits Marj. Mom, Dad, Sandy, George and Mary and a host of others waiting with smiles and hugs. A welcome like one she has never known!

Smooth sailing, Marj. Go with our love.

EULOGY at the Funeral of Esther Howarth, August 26, 1996, St. John's Anglican Church, Peterborough, Ontario.

Written and delivered by Mr. Ron King.

TRIBUTE TO MOM

...it is a real privilege for me to be asked to speak today, on behalf of the family, as we celebrate the life of Esther.. our Mom and Gramma.

We have just heard a passage read from I CORINTHIANS, often referred to as the "LOVE" chapter.. on which is frequently read at weddings. It is just as appropriate for today, as we gather to remember Mom. The closing verses speak of faith, hope and love.. the greatest of these is love. As we reflect on Mom's life, what better word could we use to describe those 86 years. but love.

Above all, Gramma loved her family.. Mom always said that she was fortunate to have had two husbands who loved her. Dick, her husband of nearly forty six years, with whom she had seven children, was her first love. Married a second time, to Albert, she not only gained a companion for fifteen years, but also his family, as might have been expected, she very soon adopted them as her own.

Mom was, indeed, the common bond which kept us close. She delighted in sharing news, as she kept in regular contact with each of us. We often found that during a visit to another family member we had no news to share. Mom had beaten us to it! She rejoiced in each new baby, and for many years her bags were rarely unpacked as she arrived to welcome each new grandchild, and stay to wash or clean or cook.

Mom shared in each of our accomplishments, loved hockey games, skating carnivals, suffered through a few long, hot, recitals, and proudly displayed many graduation photos. We could always count on her to encourage us in our disappointments, and provide a soft shoulder to cry on. However, none of us ever got past the point of receiving a stern lecture if she felt we needed it!

If you follow the stock market trends, you will notice that Carlton Card stocks took a tumble this weekend, as the news of Mother's passing became known. birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions were always opportunities for Mom to send that card which she lovingly chose for each of us. Often they contained a ticket for that lottery which she would share. The anticipation of one of us winning excited her. With eighty three descendants, this added up to a few hours in the card shop at the beginning of each month. mom refused to buy all occasion cards, it had to be just the right message.

Gramma's transportation to the annual Christmas party always took a good deal of planning.. the idea of renting a U-Haul van was often raised, but two trips always sufficed. This was one time Mom resorted to "generic" gifts.. she always brought one or two of them in case one of the kids brought a new boyfriend or girlfriend. Nobody was left out! The best part was not always the gift you received, but Mom's obvious delight in having chosen it just for you.

To friends and acquaintances, Mom's love for her family was evident. The pictures, the stories, the frequent visits, the phone calls were all eagerly shared. She had faith in us, she had hopes for us, but most of all she loved us!!

Mom loved life, she had a zest for life which never waned. She was always a person on the go, visiting out-of-town families, delivering menus or working in the tuck shop at St. john's centre, preparing vegetables for the freezer(which most of us took home because she always had more than she could use) clearing the dinner table quickly to get out the cards or rummy cubes, or cheering for the Blue Jays (especially her Joe Carter). Inactivity was the bane of her existence.

This zest for life was something she inherited from her Mom and shared with her sisters. Mom was very young when her Mother packed up six daughters and moved from Ottawa to Kitchener, leaving only a note for her husband, who was working on the harvest in the west. This spirit carried mom through some tough times, life was not always easy. It was a fighting spirit which carried her through many illnesses, the loss of many loved ones, and was evident to us as we sat by her bedside during these past weeks.

It was also a spirit which kept her young! You could never say Mom was against change, with a five generation gap between Gramma and her great, great, grandchildren, she was often faced with ideas which were not part of her experience.. yet she loved us through it all.

Whenever you heard Gramma say "You know, I was just thinking, we knew it was time to buy a new house, new furniture, or at the very least rearrange all of the old pieces. No doubt she has already given St. Peter a few suggestions.

Mom's spirit was sometimes a fiery spirit, most of us could relate at least one instance when the wrath of Esther fell upon us! Aunt Anne just told us yesterday that, in all of her ninety-six years, Mom was the only one who could boss her. She did, indeed possess a lively spirit, one which allowed her to always live life to the fullest. Mom loved life.

Mom's love of God guided and directed her life. From her early years as a child in Sunday School at St. john's in Kitchener to her later years at St. George's and her at St. John's, being a part of the church family was important to her. The Eucharist was her favourite service, and she loved the quiet of the mid-week communions she regularly attended. It was within the context of her faith that she celebrated the joys and found comfort in times of sorrow. We always knew we were in her prayers. Those of you who have visited her apartment will know that she kept a copy of Footprints in the Sand where she could reread it often. The page of her daily scripture calendar was always turned. This faith was expressed outwardly in many tangible ways.. a card to encourage someone, cookies delivered to a friend, a call to say "I'm thinking about you.

Moms church family was very important to her, and one which often afforded her strength and encouragement. Her church also offered her a special place to live, St. John's Centre, where she took such pride in her apartment and being part of the activities.

Her hospitality was also an expression of her faith, as has been mentioned in her sharing the Eucharist with Shut-ins in her apartment. More often it was a cup of tea and a visit. What we saw in mom was a reflection of the great love God had for her. She loved her God.

Gramma and Love, were, indeed synonymous.

Last summer, we were fortunate to have been in Edinburgh at the time of the Tall Ships race. as we stood on the shore of the Firth of Forth, watching those magnificent vessels sail off, we couldn't help feel saddened at the thought of never seeing them again. However, the thought soon occurred to us, that on the far shore stood a welcome party. Imagine the joy and the excitement that awaited them!

Imagine, too the welcome awaiting Gramma, Dad, Albert, George and Mary, Sandy ..., all there to greet her, to welcome her with love.

Sail on, great lady!!!
