Courtenay Jane Steele
July 30, 1981-
We have lost our precious girl to the sea and we grieve deeply for that loss. Courtenay was an island girl, born 27 years ago at Lady Minto Hospital. She loved her family, she loved Chris and she loved the sea. She lived her life as a grand adventure and we celebrate that.
We celebrate a life well-lived and well-loved. In her loss, we have been given a mystery we don’t understand and can’t comprehend but our lives are richer for having her be a part of them.
Our family is our treasure and part of that treasure is missing. Our hearts break for what we have lost and for what we will never have.
All are welcome to join us as we celebrate Courtenay’s life in a memorial service on August 7 at 2:30 pm at All Saints Anglican Church, Ganges
Our darling girl,
we love you and miss you every day.
We will leave the porch light on and hold
you and Chris in our hearts forever
