As many of you have now heard, Sandra Winter passed away on December 23, 2009, with her son Gaelen by her side.Sandra died of complications from her lung transplant surgery in Toronto General Hospital. A memorial service will be held at some later date in Nova Scotia, most likely in the Spring. However I would like to invite all of you and anyone you know to a CELEBRATION OF SANDRA held at my gallery...Argyle Fine Art. But don't think of it as a gallery event...imagine this as my home (which I suppose it kinda is, ha) Be comfortable. The idea is to create a time for anyone that knew her or helped in some way, even by donating stuff to an event or attending our yard sales, ..to get together and remember, celebrate.
Celebration of Sandra: Sunday, January 10th, 1pm-4pm. 1869 Upper Water Street/ Halifax, NS
Theme is POTLUCK..(afterall FOOD can heal!) Bring dishes that are already warm...we only have a small microwave here...
Bring a favourite dish, nibbly AND a special memory you have of Sandra or a note to the family.
Write it on a recipe card or recipe card sized piece of paper...I will then forward all your notes and thoughts to Sandra's son and family. Will can post these up on the walls of the gallery as they arrive for the afternoon of the 10th....and hope to be joined by a musician or two as well. If any of you would like to verbally share a few words about Sandra that would be great as well. Let me know how you can help out if you can....hope you can all make it.
We are still waiting to hear details, however it is my understanding that Sandra wanted to set up a fund in her name, to be used for others that find themselves in a similar situation as she did, financially. I hope to have that information available by then as well, should you want to help out that way as a memorial.
Each of us will have our own special memories of Sandra's incredible spirit of life and will be forever touched by her. She's one of the bravest people I have ever known and I miss her terribly, but I know she would want us to celebrate all that she is too! Hope to see you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 902-425-9456. If you want to send a message along if you live at a distance, please mail it to Argyle Fine Art, 1869 Upper Water Street, Halifax, NS B3J 1S9.
Thank you to everyone that has helped along the way...with fundraising, donations, yard sales, ticket sales, sign making, drag show folks, artists, The Lung Association, etc etc...so many people to thank. Hope to do that in person soon!
With the warmest wishes and thoughts for 2010,
Adriana
