Obituary of Belynda Cleland Kerelchuk

To us she will always remain the most beautiful, loving, kind and giving sister we grew up with and loved.She may have been taken from us far too soon but our memories will last forever. Our bond can never be broken. She was our big Sister.To Our Sister,We’re blessed to call you sisterWe also call you friend;You’ve loved us unconditionallyAnd stood by us through thick and thin.You’ve shared our joys and sorrows, our laughter and our tears.You’ve been our inspiration, as we grew up through the years.When we were little children we laughed and played together;Then growing up you stood by us, through good and stormy weather.We’re saddened that you left us, we’re saddened by our pain.But what we had together, our bond and love remains.So please dear sister know this, you shaped us and we’re proud.Don’t shed a tear for what we’ve lost, just watch above the cloud.Belynda was not only an amazing sister but she was the most special kind of daughter that most parents can only dream of.She made her parents proud every single day and they loved her immensely.Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday.Unseen, unheard, but always near, so please Mom and Dad don’t shed a tear.Your heart is broken but in time will heal, I’ll always be your daughter, your Belynda so dear.Cherish our memories, remember my smile.We won’t be together but only for a while.I’ll wait for you both and I’ll greet you with love,Until that day comes, I’ll watch from above.Belynda was close to all her family, and always made the time to nurture these relationships even from across the miles. She will be sadly missed by her Aunt Leslie, Aunt Stephanie, Aunt April, her Nana Nina, whom she had a special bond with and all her cousins. Our California family who couldn’t come to be here, Belynda knows how much you all meant to each other and the love and prayers your sending will help us all get through this.We know Belynda was greeted by her late Aunt Lynne with open arms in heaven.Belynda was also a very successful, hardworking and dedicated Senior Vice President and proud to be part of the Aon Benfield Company. She loved her job and everyone she worked with. She was passionate and her career was such an important part of her life. She will be missed dearly and Aon Benfield will suffer the greatest of absences. Thank you Aon Benfield for everything you have done for my sister and her children. She would be so proud to know that the company she loved for so many years, went above & beyond. Lastly & the most important part of all was that Belynda was a loving and devoted Mother to her two children, Erick and Gwen. Becoming a mother was one of the happiest days of her life. She did everything for them and they were her world. She loved every moment watching them grow from little babies to the mature, smart, loving teenagers that they have become today. She was so proud to be their “Mom” and she wanted nothing but the best for their future. She loved them unconditionally and was involved in every step of their life whether it was sports, school or providing them with new experiences. She was always present for everything and supported her children in everything they did. Their education was so important to her and she wanted them to soar, the sky’s the limit.Gwen and Erick are surrounded by family and will never have to feel alone, not for one moment. They will be loved dearly everyday just like Belynda would have wanted. They will make her proud and someday they will see their beloved Mom again. Their worlds will collide and all will be as it should. They loved her so much and she adored them like every Mother should.For Erick and Gwen,Although you cannot hear her voice or see her smile anymore, your Mother walks beside you still, just as she did before.She will listen to your stories, she will wipe away your tears;She will wrap her arms around you, she will comfort all your fears.It’s just she isn’t visible to see with human eye, but talk to her in silence and her spirit will reply.You’ll feel the love she has for you, you’ll feel her in your heart.She’s left her human body but your souls will never part.We love you Erick and Gwen and we promise to take care of you forever. We can’t replace your Mom but I will do my best to make your mom proud.Thank you to everyone’s outpouring of words. We appreciate them all and we feel the love that you all had for our sister. Most of all, the generous donations that have been given for Erick and Gwen are going to help them tremendously.
