Loving memory
Many people read the obituaries without fail.
I see very few due to the semi isolation of Ministikwan Lake. Usually an obituary is almost like your last word other than the service leading to your last resting place. One can get a short glimpse of an individual’s time amongst us.
The following obituary was written in loving memory of a lady in New Mexico who was born in 1929 and died Aug. 7, 2008.
“Dolores Aguilar had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be sadly missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing.
Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again.
There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grand children and great grand-children can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us, goodbye Mom.

Did I say loving memory?
We see many families at Ministikwan lake I hope never to read something like this relating to someone I have known.
