Kerry was a lovely light at New Westminster youth clinic, when a special group of people I am still lucky enough to call colleagues and friends worked there, many years ago. Kerry was the first face our patients would see at reception, always with a smiling, warm welcome. She was unfailingly good humored and supportive to patients and staff, a pleasure to work with, and easy on the eye. I remember her infectious laugh, her (then) curly hair and sassy outfits. She loved her family and spoke of them often. I am saddened to hear of her passing. She brought a lot of fun and energy into that basement clinic, even in mid winter. My condolences to her family and friends.
