Silence your mind and listen to your heart. Your value doesn’t depend on other people’s opinion of you. You are enough! Listen to your inner voice. Do not let anyone silence you or shame you. Do not allow others to dictate what is taboo. Be the best version of you that you can be. If you’ve made a choice that you are not happy with, < D ; / Never set limits on your dreams. Do not compromise your values. Set boundaries and stay true to them, no one has the right to ignore them or dismiss them. ‌ Insist on RESPECT and HONESTY, INTEGRITY and VALUES. ‌ Surround yourself with non-toxic people, people who want the best for you and are happy with your success. j / ‌ If it no longer serves you, 7 ´ D / ‌ Be strong, believe in yourself. ‌ You are unique and the world needs you exactly the way you are! Never forget that.

Helen Nebelung April 13, 1937 - February 29, 2020 Helen Nebelung (née Kennedy) of Hudson, QC, passed away peacefully on February 29, 2020 at the Hôpital du Suroît in Valleyfield, QC after a brief battle with dementia. She was eighty-two years old. Helen was born on April 13, 1937, in Grenville, QC to the late Holland and Mary Kennedy of Rawcliffe, QC. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Dietrich Nebelung, her brothers Lyman and Vernon Kennedy, and sister Glenna Wilson. She was always incredibly active, loving the outdoors, gardening, downhill skiing and playing with her grandchildren. She was a determined, selfless, and a kind soul, that radiated positivity in all situations and cared for so many others throughout her life. She started her career as a computer programmer at Johnson & Johnson in Montreal in 1960, during which time she began downhill skiing at Jay Peak, Vermont. It is there that she met Dietrich Nebelung of Munich, Germany, who later became her husband on April 17, 1965 in Brownsburg, QC. She followed in Dietrich’s footsteps and became a ski instructor, teaching at both Jay Peak and Mont Rigaud, QC, sharing her passion for downhill skiing with countless others and was recognized as one of the Top 100 instructors in the United States by Skiing Magazine on 4 occasions. She is survived by her sister Olive Struve, her bother James Kennedy, her son Mark Nebelung, daughter-in-law Chantal Bray, and two grandsons Eric and Patrick Nebelung. Family and friends are invited to the funeral service on March 29, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. at the Wyman Memorial United Church at 513 Rue Main in Hudson QC. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers or other commemorations, a donation instead be made to the Brain Canada Foundation (https:// braincanada.ca/) to support research into all forms of brain disease.
