Special thanks to the Doctors Nurses and support team of the palliative care unit, your professionalism, kindness, and compassion made the last 111 days much more bearable knowing we had the best team taking care of mom. Mom’s ” caregivers” Deneal, Judy, Helen, Carol-Ann, Betty, Leona Sharon, Maureen and Amelia who stayed by her side tending to her every need, giving your time so freely will never be forgotten. A heartfelt thank you to Reverend Jean whose visits, chats and prayers helped us all through this difficult journey. Mom had a huge heart, she loved her family dearly, enjoyed a game of cards, loved to laugh ,a good sing along and an old fashioned waltz. But most importantly Mom loved Bill endlessly. He was her rock,her partner, her best friend and in the last few months he was her caretaker, her memory and so much more. The love and devotion they had for each other is a true testament for marriage and is something to be admired. As per mom’s wishes cremation has taken place.
