The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the wonderful and caring staff at Georgian Heights LTC; to Dr. Huff and Dr. Tweedie for their excellent medical care over the years, and to the staff at the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce for their informative and supportive guidance during the difficult journey with their Mom.
