| ~Christopher's Funeral~ Christopher Andrew Cameron's Funeral was held on Thursday March 13, 2003 at 3:30 in the afternoon in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Canada at WJ Jones and Son Funeral Home. This date was to be Christopher's expected due date. We had been having some cold weather but on this day, the day when we would be saying goodbye to our little boy dawned bright, sunny and warm. A beautiful day for my beautiful little Angel Baby to be laid to rest. I had not been looking forward to this day. This would be the last time I would see my precious Little Angel here on earth. From this day after I would only be seeing him with the pictures I have and in my wonderful magical dreams. We decided when we put his obituary in the paper that we would leave the date and time out. I didn't feel right having a whole pile of people attending the funeral of my little boy! It was hard enough with family and the few friends we had invited to be there with us. And also I didn't want people to come just so they can view the body of an infant who had died! Sad to say but there are people out there who do attend funerals just to see what the person looked like, and I didn't want my son gawked at by just mutal aqquaintances1 The people who were in attendace were invited to the service. People we felt comfortable around, people who helped us with our pain. Dan and the kids and I were of course the last to arrive at the Funeral Chapel, everyone was already there waiting for the service to begin, waiting for us. We had decided to have his tiny casket left opened till the service began for the family who hadn't been able to make it to the viewing. For the family who hadn't wanted to see him at the time but now wanted to and wanted to say goodbye to this little innocent child. Walking down the isle towards his casket was not as bad as I feared it would be. Dan went up with Andrew and Jayda because the kids had written letters to their baby brother and wanted them placed with him. There was already numerous items with him from almost everyone in the immediate family. Dan had bought him a beautiful fuzzy blue and white checkered blanket to keep him warm. I bought him a Butterfly Pin that came with a poem titled "Till We Meet Again", I too have the same pin and wear it always in his memory. Auntie Chantel and Uncle Jamie gave him a rattle bevause he needed something to play with in the heaven's above. Grandma Anne gave him a blue night light so that the darkness wouldn't frighten him. Uncle Michael, Auntie Crystal and Cousin's Rayanna and Ashlee gave him a Teddy Bear necklace and Auntie also wrote him a letter which she gave to him. Grandma Elleda and Grandpa Wayne picked out his tiny sleeper he was wearing. It came with a matching hat, Mom said he needed a hat to keep his little head warm. Mom also gave him his very first "Teddy Bear" it was a TY Teddy Bear named "EGGS II". A picture of his Teddy Bear can be seen in the "Cherished Mementos" section on this site. My Mom also gave him a Guardian Angel pin. Dan and I had also written letters to Christopher which were also put beside him in his tiny casket along with a picture of his Sisters, Brother, and Daddy and Mommy! I was ok until Don Jones went a closed the lid on his tiny casket, that is when my heart broke! I wanted to jump up and open it back up and reach in and hold him one more time to kiss his cheek one more time, to look upon his sweet innocent face only once more, to say goodbye. I sat there and stared at his tiny closed casket unable to believe that this had happened to me! Della Ferguson officiated at Christopher's service. You would think that for someone so small who no one got to know or meet the service would be very simple and short, but it lasted 45 minutes. Della put so much love and meaning into his service, the service of this little child who never had the chance to live outside of his Mother's body. His service was filled with so very much love and I am ever so thankful that Della did it the way she did! The letters Dan and I had written to Christopher were read out loud at his service by Della and after each letter a song was played that each Dan and I had picked out . Dan had picked "My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion. And I had picked "Only Time" by Enya. Both are very beautiful songs and great consideration went into the choosing of them. When the service came to a close Grandpa Wayne and Uncle Michael carried his tiny casket to the awaiting veichle. The procession then proceeded to Rosedale Cemetary to his final resting place among other babies. At the cemetary we gathered around what was to be his resting place for eternity. Six baby carnations were handed to me for the kids, and Dan and Me to lay on his tiny casket. Della gave a little grave side service. She then handed us each a blue helium filled balloon which for some reason I can't remember symbolised at this time. We released those six balloons to the song "Fly" by Celine Dion. We all stood and listened to the song and watched as the balloons floated up and slowly disappeared into the great blue sky. It was such a beautiful day, and such a beautiful service for which to lay my sweet Christopher Andrew Angel to rest. Click on the Cross to continue to "What I Believe" .
