CLOSE, RETA (NEE JOHNSTON) AUGUST 16, 1920 -September 3, 2004 My mother loved life.

And it loved her back. Over the course of 84 years she was an independent, strong woman who successfully balanced family life with a family business. During her marriage to my father, Ronald Close, she did the accounting for the family hotel business. Somehow she managed to find time to ride horseback, fly planes, drive motorcycles, travel around the world, play with her dog, dance and sing. She explained to me once that it was important to work eight hours, rest eight hours and play eight hours, although my son, Caleb says during the times he spent with her it was difficult not to play for the entire twenty-four.

Another strong woman, my grandmother, Emily Mary Johnston, raised six children, my mother was the youngest. She had lost her father at an early age, the first of many challenges in her life. She learned quickly to count her blessings and meet obstacles without complaint. In this she was an inspiration to those around her. Music was a significant part of my mother's life, in particular iazz and swing of the big bands.

Mom knew the words to all the songs and had a song for every day, The stereo in our household ran overtime. Her record collection featured Bing Crosby and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass as well as classical music. But she was particular in her choices, piano music had to be Liszt not Chopin. My mother loved life and knew how to celebrate the little things. She knew the pleasure of taking a boat out into the middle of Jackfish Lake just to have breakfast while watching the sun coming up.

My mother loved life and most of all she loved her family. My father, Ronald and my brother, Patrick and I were fortunate to be part of a loving family. As our family circle grew larger, she delighted in her three grandchildren: Tara, Erin and Caleb. At the heart of everything was her sense of humor; she could find a laugh in even the most difficult circumstances. Despite a long illness, she never complained and always encouraged us to make the most of our opportunities.

She raised my brother and to believe in ourselves and have the courage of our convictions. She often quoted poetry to us and a favorite was Kipling's If. She believed in the importance of the arts and encouraged us to pursue our own careers. My father says, simply but wisely, that she was a lady. Her smile was radiant and she shared it with the world.

In the Regina Lutheran Home where she lived for the last two years, she was known for her smile. Her room was a haven for visitors and caregivers alike who would stop by to listen to the music and see her collection of horses. My mother loved life and she loved people. She never turned anyone away from our door and there was always a chocolate cake in the freezer lust in case. Countless times, we would come home and find friends and family in the kitchen with Mom having coffee.

My brother, Patrick observed recently that the prairie skies have been particularly beautiful since Mom's death. know that she would like this. My mother always said that there should be no sadness when she departed. In keeping with her wishes, there will be an informal celebration of her life at a Come Go Tea, October 9, 2004 from 2-4 pm at the McCannel Condominium. Clubhouse lust across the street from my parents' home at 36 Kensington Crescent in Regina.

Family and friends are welcome to loin us for an afternoon of memories and music. Flowers are gratefully declined.
