She was only 43.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2115\" data-originallang=\"en\">She was integral to the political career of her husband, former Nova Scotia Liberal leader Danny Graham, although she was ill for much of his tenure. Despite her short life, Sheelagh touched many of us, as evidenced by the thousand people who attended her music-filled memorial last Thursday night.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2116\" data-originallang=\"en\">All of us who knew Sheelagh remember her as a wonderful mother, wife and friend whose greatest joy was her family. Today her courageous spirit lives on in her three boys. She was a generous soul we will not soon forget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2117\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ask all members of the House to join me in offering our thoughts and prayers to Danny, Patrick, Andrew, Colin and all of the Nolan and Graham families.</p>",

Elle n'avait que 43 ans.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2115\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elle a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le primordial dans la carri\u00e8re politique de son mari, Danny Graham, ancien chef lib\u00e9ral de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, m\u00eame si elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 malade pendant la majeure partie de son mandat. Malgr\u00e9 sa courte existence, Sheelagh a touch\u00e9 bon nombre d'entre nous, comme en ont fait foi les milliers de personnes qui ont assist\u00e9 \u00e0 ses fun\u00e9railles remplies de musique jeudi soir dernier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2116\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tous ceux qui connaissaient Sheelagh se rappellent d'elle comme d'une m\u00e8re, une \u00e9pouse et une amie merveilleuse qui tirait ses plus grandes joies de sa famille. Aujourd'hui, son esprit courageux vit \u00e0 travers ses trois fils. C'\u00e9tait une \u00e2me g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse que nous n'oublierons pas de sit\u00f4t.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2117\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'exhorte tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 se joindre \u00e0 moi pour offrir nos pens\u00e9es et nos pri\u00e8res \u00e0 Danny, Patrick, Andrew, Colin et aux familles Nolan et Graham.</p>"
