Honesty and integrity were the trademarks of Merrill’s personality. Gail was the ultimate team mom, who loved supporting and volunteering with youth hockey, soccer, baseball and ringette within the Squamish community. Gail was also well known for her very kind and loving demeanor which was obvious to anyone that had the pleasure of meeting her.

In Memoriam Craig MacEwen, August 17, 1971 May 5, 2020 Sometimes I just sit quietly reflecting for a while imagining your voice, your face, and your warm and loving smile. Often, I get lost in recalling the happy times we had. You played such a special role as an amazing friend, Husband and Dad. And at this special time, I only wish you knew that I would give all the world for one more hour with you. But I still have my memories, and since we have been apart it comforts me... so much that you are right here in my heart. We will love you forever and always, Juliana, Kurtis, Zack, and all your family and friends. https://www.saltwire.com/prince-edwa//craig-macewen-55081/ North Shore Funeral Home shares this Memoriam for your convenience and for the general interest of those living in our area, wherein this person or their family is or was known.
