My beautiful Mother, Irene Theresa Hart passed away peacefully in the presence of her loving family and friends at 2:55 pm on Friday, August 18 2017 at True Davidson Acres.

My mother Irene was born in Khurda Road, Orissa, India, and was the beloved middle daughter of Ernest George & Elizabeth Agnes (nee Traish) Chapman.

Irene was the beloved mother of Yvonne John (nee Hart).

She was a loving sister to Margaret Mary Myers, Cecelia Kingston Parnham, George Lushington Chapman and Herbert Wilfred Condrad Chapman.

Her family and the friends she held dear were always an important part of her life. She was a loving and involved Aunt to her many nieces and nephews as well as her grand and great grand nieces and nephews in Canada, England, Australia and India. She was always my staunchest ally, my beloved friend and a most loving mother.

A Visitation & memorial service celebrating my mother's life is planned for 11:00 am Wednesday August 23 2017 at the Giffen Mack Funeral Home, 2570 Danforth Avenue, Toronto. Main & Danforth is the main intersection. A light luncheon will be served following the service.

Rest in peace Mum; you have lived a life that is full and are now safe in the arms of Jesus.

When I'm Gone

When I come to the end

of my journey

And I travel my last weary mile,

Just forget if you can,

that I ever frowned

And remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;

Remember some good I have done,

Forget that I ever had heartache

And remember I've had

loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbled

and blundered

And sometimes fell by the way.

Remember I have fought

some hard battles

And won, ere the close of the day,

Then forget to grieve for my going,

I would not have you sad for a day,

But in summer

just gather some flowers

And remember

the place where I lay,

And come in the shade of evening

When the sun paints

the sky in the west

Stand for a few moments beside me

And remember only my best.
