Once there was 6…

now there are 4…

it is with the greatest sorrow
that I state

today
the women
of this great country
suffered a huge loss
in advocacy,
and a founding sister
of the women’s movement
here in Canada.

I lost my Aunt.

Norma Mae (Brown) Scarborough
September 19, 1926 – April 2, 2009

Daughter,
Sister,
Mother,
Grandmother,
Great Grandmother,
Great Great Grandmother,
Aunt

My aunt Norma,

who fought tirelessly
and endless
for women in Canada
to be recognized
and to
to establish
and continually confirm
the rights of women
“to choose”
in Canada

RIP Normie Mae

and thank you
on behalf of the legions of women
too young to know…

too young to remember
the sacrifices of you
and yours
for the fight you believed in

You are loved.
