Marsi cho. [English translation not provided.] Mr. Speaker, today I would like to send my deepest condolences to the King-Boucher family of the late Henry King, who sadly passed away January 20, 2016. He was born on the Rat River on August 28, 1925. Henry was one of 13 children who drew up on the Taltson River and eventually moved to Fort Resolution. Henry was a very dependable man who worked to provide for his family. He used a traditional lifestyle of hunting and trapping as a means of survival, and he was a very wise and humble man. He may have lived a hard life, but he did it with a smile on his face. Henry is survived by his sister, Vitaline Lafferty from Ndilo, and his children Emelda, Dora, Freddy, Ronald, Nancy, Catherine, Maurice, Paul, Laura, Kenneth, Kevin, and Suzanne. Mr. King has 45 grandchildren, 81 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
Also from Lutselk’e today I would like to send my condolences to the Michel-Catholic family of the late Mary Jane Michel. She passed away on January 25, 2016, at age 58. She was born in Lutselk’e on January 16, 1958. Mary Jane was a very kind-hearted lady who loved her family deeply and worked hard and lived a traditional lifestyle. She and her husband Antoine Michel lived off the land in a house they shared with family and friends in Lutselk’e. As a mother, grandmother, and wife, she dedicated her time to her family and taught in the traditional life style. She wanted to see her children and grandchildren succeed in life. Mary Jane is predeceased by her parents Judith and Pierre Catholic; sister, Marina; brothers Lawrence and Frankie. My condolences go out to Mary Jane's husband Antoine and daughters Delores and Laura; Jane's sons Henry, Jason, Jessie; her brothers Herman and Joseph; all of her grandchildren, friends, and family.
Today I would also like to send my deepest condolences to the family of the late Ann Biscaye. She passed away on February 7, 2016, at age 62. Ann was a hard-working woman and was well known through her translation duties. She shared her knowledge with anyone who wanted them. Ann was predeceased by her father, Paul Biscaye; daughter Sarah Ann; brothers, Louis, Noel, Edward, Joseph, Samuel, Raymond, and Fred John; her sisters, Mary, Mavis, and Georgina. My condolences go out to Ann's daughter, Gloria, Chief Balsillie’s wife; her grandchildren, Troy, Theresa, Kayden, Chase, Jeremy; mother, Theresa; sisters, Sabet Biscaye, Julia, Violet; and her partner Joseph Beaulieu; and all of her nieces and nephews.
