Death notice for the town of: Rigaud, Province: Quebec
It is with a sad heart that I am saying bye to Mme. Bigras, (Mom). After arriving in Montreal years ago to attend computer school, I responded to an ad in the papers for a live-in help. It was Mme. Bigras. I went to school in the morning and helped her in the afternoon with her nursing home. I called her “mom” because being so far away from my own mother she was like a second mother to me. One year later I got married and moved out on my own with my husband but mom and I always stayed in touch. Nursing has always been my passion and I always remembered helping at her nursing home. So I left my computer job at CAE and went to nursing school. I am a registered nurse, with a BScN and Masters’ degree. I have been working for years at the Jewish General Hospital as an RN and as a CSI for the CIUSSS in the CHSLDs.
I have done a lot of teaching to nurses helping them to become better nurses and I have done a lot of recognizable work for which I am well respected within the institution. Throughout all of this, even though I was so busy, I visited and stayed in touch with her in every different facility she lived in, and they were several, from the first time I met her in her home on Hudson street in Montreal to the last place she lived, Angelica. I have done well in life and I thank God. But I will always be grateful to mom for allowing me to live with her, even though it was only for one year. We built a solid relationship and always kept in touch. She has been a great source of moral strength. So I just want to say thanks to mom for being the loving person that she was to have accepted me and to have been in my life as a second mother. To the family, please accept my sympathy. Marilyn
