Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to do a bit of a eulogy on people that passed away this summer in Fort Resolution.
Mr. Speaker, on July 1, 2018, Carol Valette, wife to Frankie Beaulieu, passed away. Carol had an adoptive daughter, Tisha, and a stepdaughter named Joslyn, three granddaughters, and two grandsons. Carol was 69 years old. She was very well-liked by the community. She chose to make Fort Resolution her home when she moved there from Alberta.
On that same day, Mr. Speaker, the community lost a young man, Cameron Sayine Giroux. Cameron passed away that day, also, July 1, 2018. Cameron was the son of Raymond Giroux, and his mother was the late Colleen Sayine. Cameron was a grandson of a former Member of this Legislative Assembly, Robert Sayine and his wife, May Sayine. He was also a grandson to the late Wilfred and Elizabeth Giroux. Cameron was only 27 years old and passed away unexpectedly and suddenly.
On August 20, 2018, the community lost Jody Giroux. Jody and Cameron were first cousins. Jody was the daughter to Linda Mckay, and the late Grant Giroux was his father. Jody's sisters are Kerry Giroux and Belinda Mandeville, Stacy Giroux, and her brothers were Sean Mckay and Grant Giroux Jr. She was predeceased by one brother, Lloyd Giroux. She was a granddaughter to Denise Mckay and well-known late elder Edward Mckay. She was also a granddaughter to Wilfred and Elizabeth Giroux. Jody was born on August 31, 1980, and when she passed away, she was only 37 years old, a few days before her 38th birthday.
It was a sad summer for the community of Fort Resolution to lose a beloved elder and to lose two young people in our community long before their time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
