I am a thousand winds that blow, 1 am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle April rain. When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I an, not there, I did not die. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Beattie-Falconer Funeral Homes Ltd.

Vodden, formerly of Blyth, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2002 at Huronlea. She was in her 90th year. The former Myrtle Turvey, she was the daughter of Robert and Mary Turvey of Morris Twp. She was the wife of the late Harold Thomas Vodden who passed away in 1985. Surviving are her son and daugh- ter-in-law, Brock and Janis Vodden, six grandchildren, and six great- grandchildren, two sisters, Jean Cook of Blyth, and Helen Gowing and brother-in-law, Norman Gowing also of Blyth, and one brother, Ross Turvey of Wingham. She was predeceased by two sis- ters, Adella Shaw of Brussels, and Evelyn Turvey of Blyth, one brother Lloyd Turvey, and one brother, Glen Turvey in infancy. Mrs. Vodden was born in Morris Twp. and attended the Browntown school and Brussels Continuation School. She and Harold were mar- ried in October 1932 in Ethel where they lived for a short time before moving to Blyth. They both worked in a Blyth bak- ery which they later purchased and operated a very successful business until they sold it in 1953. Mrs. Vodden participated in all aspects of the baking business, but her special responsibility was the production of a wide variety of pastries. They then operated a very suc- cessful television and appliance business until 1965 when that busi- ness was sold. Myrtle Vodden was also active in the community. A long-time member of Blyth United Church, she served in the choir for over 40 years, and also held numerous offices on the church board. She was the first pres- ident of the Blyth United Church Women's organization. She was an active member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Myrtle and Harold were avid lawn bowlers throughout most of their adult years. The family and those who knew Mrs. Vodden well appreciated the unfailing support '.he gave to Harold in his coping first with a very serious case of diabetes, and then later his - blindness and a stroke. Only those who were close to this devoted cou- ple know how much she contributed to Harold's triumphing over those adversities. In recent years, Mrs. Vodden fell prey to another cruel illness, Alzheimer's disease. Although this disease gradually robbed her of many of her strong faculties. she retained the same warmth with which she greeted visitors, and maintained the positive outlook that was so much part of her character. A memorial service was held at Blyth Visitation Centre, on Saturday, Oct. 19. Rev. Dr. Eugen Bannerman officiated. Donations to the Alzheimer Society or the Huronlea Volunteer Auxiliary would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
