[A] Hi, I'm Christy Healy [Gb] and I'm the wife of late Jeff Healy.
I'm here to [Bb] talk to you about why you should nominate Jeff [Eb] for Canada's Walk of Fame.
Now I [Bb] knew him on a very [F] personal level, being his wife and [E] the mother of his son and
the stepmother of his wonderful daughter and
[F]
I think there are a lot of things that [Bb] people know about Jeff, but also
[Ab] don't know about Jeff.
He was a very special unique person, a
[Abm] talented musician.
He was [Ebm] proud of being Canadian [Ab] and like many people that you've heard from [Bb] already,
he was known all over the world for [Bbm] his talents, his efforts and
his commitment to being Canadian [C] always.
[Db]
He did a lot [Em] for the community.
He was proud of being raised in [G] Toronto and
[Fm] being someone who [F] grew up with a disability, being [G] blind.
He didn't let that stop him and I know one of the main
statements he used to say to his father growing up was, don't guide me.
He wanted to make his way through [Bb] life on his terms and he did that [F] with effort and determination.
And I think he represented effort and [Bb] determination to many people around the world, including people with disabilities, which I think is
something incredible
for someone to do, [Am] to be a role model, [Bb] to be a representative of
[B] Canadian people
saying [Fm] that if you put your mind to [F] anything that you love, that you [A] want to do, you can do it.
He helped charitable organizations [Gb] through the CNIB.
He helped raise money [Bb] for
Childhood Retinoblastoma, for Sick Kids Hospital.
He was involved in [Bbm] various golf tournaments.
With the CNIB, he [Bb] was an advocate for literacy.
He was [F] an advocate for [Ab] Braille literacy.
[F] He was an advocate for education and
[Gb] I think the biggest thing he was an advocate [E] for was [Eb] living your life and he really represented that as a Canadian.
I think he's touched [E] many people around the world.
[Bb] You've heard from a number [E] of friends and musicians,
stories from [G] around the world and here in Canada.
One thing that I think many people, [Ab] I think [A] they
they probably guessed but weren't really sure about it and I'm [Bb] sure you've heard that his generosity was overwhelming.
His generosity [Eb] was overwhelming as a family man and as a friend.
His world revolved around his children and his family and
his [Bb] music because
they represented [E] who he was as a person.
[Eb] They were part of him.
His music was a part of him.
His family was a part of him and
his [Fm] determination to say to the world
[Bb] anything is [G] possible for [Bb] anyone and I [Ab] think if that's [Bb] what represents Canada,
[Gb] that's when someone deserves a spot on Canada's Walk of Fame.
