He faced his problems head on and lived every day to it's fullest. Paul, knowing he had a short time to live, decided to live the last. few months of his life his way. His way was to take care of himself, in his own house, on his own farm, in his . own community, near Greenbank. Cancer raged rampantly through Paul's frail body but Paul's spirit re- mained strong. He welcomed his family and friends, enjoying their MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES l prayer. Roll Call was answered with a poem by 14 members and 4 from Goodwood.

To-day many pther terminally ill people, like Paul, choose to spend - their last few weeks in the comfort of their own homes. V.O.N. nurses and Community care programs are available to help people make these - decisions and to make life more comfortable for the individual. Facing death can be a strange, unknown fear for anyone. In un- familiar surrounding, being taken care of by unfamiliar faces, the fear can be devastating.

A special thanks to .all those who helped with this project. Meeting closed with singing of Benediction Obituary--Paul Diamond Paul was a farmer. He enjoyed the outdoors and the quiet solace the country offers. Althotigh he was con- fined to his house a great deal of time in the last few weeks of his life he could still look out his windows cherishing the view, the familiar view, of his country-side. If he had problems sleeping, as he often did, he was able to walk around his own rooms, reliving the memories of his life. Paul, who was always giving to others all his life, found it difficult to have other people waiting on him. Instead of pulling the bell to sum- ..mon a nurse for a drink, or an ex- tra pillow, Paul would have suffered 'in silence. In his own home, until the last few days of his life when he needed extra help, he was able to look after his own simple needs. He 'had a hospital bed in the living room and it was only a few steps to the kit- chen or the bathroom. If it took Paul: twice as long as it would have taken someone else to look after his needs Paul didn't care. He did it his way, bothering no one else and he was content. Paul had a remarkable sense of humour. He delighted many people, including the V.O.N. nurses who came by to monitor him, with his quick wit. Paul was allowed to keep his sense of humour. He was allow- ed to live his last few weeks the way he chose. Many people will miss Paul but, his memory will linger on in the hearts of all who knew him. He taught his family, love, courage, honesty, fair-play and sharing by his examples. Death can never Kill these memories . Paul died the way he lived, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a fami- ly who loved him. You accomplished your goals in life, Paul, right to the end. God Bless You. You did it your way Paul Sykes Diamond was the hus- band of the late Minnie Bennett Dia- mond. Father of Helen (Mrs. D. Steven) and Shirley (Mrs. E. Scott). He was grandfather to eight grand- children and great-grandfather to five great-grandchildren. He was the brother of Bruce, Marjorie Stevenson and Ruth Tran, predeceased by Ross, Ray and Jack. alli
