I pine ďŹ r you and balsam If you sing it with a drawl, it almost sounds like a country song doesn’t it? If it was, it would be my ode to the large pine tree in our front yard which has only recently stopped shedding its 7,874,241 pine needles all over our yard. Right now I know what you are doing dear readers‌ 1) You are asking yourself, “He actually COUNTED each needle he picked up?

Everyone and everything including my crooked pine tree.

Brenda Cowell 1944-2019

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brenda Cowell (née Edington) on October 7, 2019 at the age of 75, with family by her side. She will be dearly missed by so many, but mostly by Edward, her husband of almost 52 years, her daughters Erica, Adrienne (Soren), and Hilary (Dax) as well as her granddaughters Robin and Abby.

Meet the merchants in your neighbourhood and help foster successful relationships to ensure their businesses thrive. Meet the real people in your community, not just the Facebook posts!

She loved travelling, dogs, birds, spiders and gardens, a good murder mystery, but above all her family and friends. She is deeply missed and forever in our hearts.

Enjoy working with a dynamic team in a flexible environment.

We would like to thank the staff of the Hawkesbury General Hospital, the Ottawa General Hospital and the Palliative Care Centre in Hudson for their excellent care and compassion. If desired, donations in her honour could be made to NOVA Hudson or the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Palliative Care Residence.

Earn base salary plus commission.

A celebration of Brenda’s life will take place at Whitlock Golf and Country Club on Saturday, November 9th. Please drop-in between 1 and 4 p.m. to join us in sharing memories. Thursday, October 24, 2019
