Robert Louis Stevenson''The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.''- Hilary Stanton Zunin''My friendship with Mitzi was like the friendship that many children have with their pets.The foundation of Natures Way Cemetery was built on a tragedy. On September 1, 1995, I married my husband in a small ceremony on our 10 acre property. Collectively we had three dogs at the time of our marriage. The smallest and oldest was a city-raised miniature long haired daschund named Felix. Two days following the happy nuptials the best man prepared to return to his in Belleville, Ontario. With goodbyes said, my sister and I proceeded to walk the distance to the house with the dogs in tow. Unbeknownst to us, my beloved Felix was resting under the best mans truck, which was now in reverse gear. The rest, as they say, is history. My best friend and faithful companion of eight years had been taken abruptly from me.

When Ottawa closed its Lowertown cemeteries (Barracks Hill Cemetery: 1788-1844, and Sandy Hill Cemetery: 1844-1872), His Excellency Joseph Eugène Guigues, 1st Bishop of Ottawa (1848), purchased 50 acres of land from Mr. Bradley for the interment of Catholics. This land became known as Notre-Dame Cemetery. It is Ottawa's oldest and largest Catholic Cemetery. Under the direction of Canon Georges Bouillon, a notable diocesan priest-architect, the plans for the new cemetery began to take shape on October 2, 1870. Work continued in 1871, and on May 1st, 1872, the grounds were consecrated by Bishop Guigues in the presence of 8,000 faithful, and the cemetery was officially opened.
