[homeles_ot-l] Notice of Memorial (attached poster)

Wed Sep 10 13:32:39 EDT 2008

My deepest sympathies go out to the global loss of this young woman.

However, if would be grossly (professionally) irresponsible to post this notice - since one would align themselves with the clear allegations charged within. 

As a memorial invitation for Dee, perhaps a revised version could be sent that excludes blame?

Hi Susan,

Obviously Dee, who is now deceased could not give anyone "her permission" about how to manage her own memorial. However, Dee's mother, who has survived her daughter, and who is now taking care of Dee's child approves of the memorial and is deeply involved in this "political cause" to reform the administrative practices of Children's Aid Societies across the province in the hope of preventing the deaths of other vulnerable mothers.

And since I personally knew Dee, I know she would completely approve of us speaking the truth about what happened to her and she would be proud that we have picked up on and continued HER CAUSE.

As for my email address not being on the website, I do have a link which says "Contact Us" that leads you to a forum where you can leave a text message as a way of reducing spam to my email address. Feel free to visit that again to leave a message any time.

If you would like to contact the author of the poster (attached) email Jane Scharf at janescharf at rogers.com

See the attached Poster for information on the memorial and you care to learn more feel free to join her facebook group which was started by her mother at http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24106098188

You can also see her website when she ran for Council in the last City of Ottawa election for College Ward and got over 1500 votes!

Since there is no way to contact John Dunn as his site has no email address I will address my question on this forum
Mr John Dunn
Has the recently deceased Dee given you her permission to use her death as a platform to further your political cause
Just wondering?

Did you or do you live on the streets? Did you know a young woman named Dee? She was also in attendance at the Homeless Action Strike in Ottawa.

I will send a PDF flyer soon, for posting at various locations and community centres, but Dee has unfortunately passed away at the age of just 20. There will be a memorial for her at the Human Rights Monument in Ottawa, Sunday the 14th of September at 7pm.

The poster will have the following words on it and it will have her picture as well. This is more of a Notice of a pending message to the list.

The words will say something similar to this

Several people will speak about what happened and what action will be taken in connection with the Children's Aid Societies which are responsible for her suicide to see to it that no other young lives are ended senselessly

The poster will be posted to this list when posted.
