Letter: Thank you Beverly

Dear Editor

For many years I have known Beverly Worsley, from Fort Qu’Appelle, and have had the honour and pleasure of working with her on various projects, dealing directly and indirectly with her position as the Métis Nation Eastern Region lll Area Director.

I met Beverly through my mother and immediately, Beverly took me under her wing and promoted me with my magic entertainment; she arranged shows for me across Sask. and Alberta, came to many of the performances, and always continued to show pride and encouragement in my dream to be an entertainer.

Today, several years later, as she undergoes treatments for cancer, Beverly still takes pride in my work and is always glad to see me when I come down from Dysart to visit her. Beverly and I have become very close friends, and I know of many people who feel the same way.
She has such a strong passion for the work she does for her Métis culture and heritage, and never hesitates to help those around her (especially with ancestry and genealogy).

I have seen first hand her willingness and unselfish acts. She has touched many peoples’ lives in so many ways, and I cannot describe the degree of appreciation I have for such an amazing person to be a part of my life.

Beverly has inspired me to live my life for the better - to help those around me without the expectation of having anything returned to me but the knowledge of knowing I have helped someone who was in need. She will always be with me in my heart and soul, and what she has done for me I will forever show in my everyday actions towards those around me.
