WAYNE WAS NEVER SCARED<br /> The son of a former Chatham Head resident who died Dec. 1 was the subject of an article in the Toronto Star on Dec. 4.<br /> Wayne ARSENAULT was the 11-year-old son of Jean Paul ARSENAULT and Marie Louise [McINTYRE] ARSENAULT, of Scarborough, Ontario. Wayne was a little boy who bravely fought leukemia and lost, the article said. The cancer spread to his stomach and spine and he died in the Hospital for Sick Children Wed., Dec. 1.<br /> He knew he was going to die but he was never scared, said his mother. He used to say: If God wants me, hell come and get me.<br /> Wayne was hit with leukemia when he was two. He beat it for a while but a year ago it came back. The radiation and chemotherapy treatments failed him.<br /> His teachers and classmates miss Wayne already. He couldnt go to classes at St. Maria Gorette School in Scarborough regularly last year because the leukemia had taken hold. At other times, hed be tutored at home. One of his teachers, Doreen Wharton, remembers walking with Wayne on a winter day. Hed stare at the barren branches of the trees and ask: Do you think Ill live long enough to see the leaves? Together theyd break off a couple of branches and take them home. When spring came theyd go back to the tree to collect new branches, with their hopeful buds. He was a very spiritual child. It showed him that dead things kept on living, that there was new life and a new birth, said Wharton, who was at Waynes deathbed with his parents, Marie Louise and Jean Paul, two uncles from New Brunswick, a chaplain and a priest.<br /> Marie Louise said shell always be grateful to Dr. Melvin Freedman at Sick Childrens for doing everything he could to save her son. But they were up against a disease with no cure.<br /> Throughout his life he was always a happy boy. Everybody loved him, said Marie Louise.<br /> Waynes paternal grandfather, Joseph ARSENAULT, resides in Chatham Head. His maternal grandfather, Andrew McINTYRE, lives in Eel River Bridge. Several uncles, aunts and cousins reside elsewhere on the Miramichi including Baie Ste-Anne.<br /> Besides his parents and grandparents, he is survived by a brother, David.<br /> Funeal mass was celebrated Tuesday, Dec. 7 at Baie Ste-Anne Roman Catholic Church.<br /> Source: Miramichi Leader - December 10, 1982
