Thank you family members and friends for attending the memorial service for our mother Margaret Gamble on Jan. 15. We extend our appreciation to the Alaska Native Sisterhood and to the Yees Ku Oo Dance Group for their performance. We thank the speakers of the Alaska Native Sisterhood and Brotherhood, Sealaska Corporation, Goldbelt Inc. and Tlingit & Haida for sharing our mother’s involvement with the Native community. A special thanks to Pastor Jerry Bennett for his service that touched our hearts and at times brought us laughter, to Walter Bennett for prayers, to George and Velma Paul for their music, and to Richard Peterson of Tlingit and Haida Central Council. It was an honor to have my mother’s father’s people of the Eagle-Wolf House of Sitka speak to us and to hear Joe Zuboff’s response to the Kaagwaataan.
Gunalchéesh,
Karen Webb, Marcella Whitney and Charlene Ransom
