My sympathy to Paul and Priscilla’s family on the loss of this beautiful lady.
She was so kind and thoughtful towards my mother and many other residents at Vulcan Extendicare during her time there. I will always remember her love and caring for the flowers and birds in the garden and all of her hard work on the wonderful legacy of the photo albums she created for the family members.
