Now that the formalities are over with, this kinda sucks huh?! If you’re reading this, it means I lost my battle. I guarantee I was a warrior and didn’t go down without a fight.
I am survived by my pride and joys my daughter, Robyn and my son, Lukas. My greatest accomplishment in this life. I’m also survived by my beautiful and loving Mother, Edna Mailman. I left behind my two amazing brothers, who were at my side through all this, my big brother, Kevin Mailman (Nancy) and my baby brother, Ellsworth (Sheri); along with my precious nieces and nephews. Robert Parsons you were my rock and dear friend. I know you’ll take great care of our babies. Lisa Lavin, my friend of 50 years and my sister by heart, I love you, be strong Thelma. Theresa, thank you for the many retail therapy trips and being by my side.
I was predeceased by my beautiful Dad, Harvey Mailman. I have way too many people to mention so I’ll leave it there, so it doesn’t cost a fortune lol.
I was a stay-at-home Mom, my favourite job, but did take care of people in their homes for a few years, which I loved. At age 45, I went back to school and took disability services and graduated with honours. After working a few jobs at once and volunteering, I got the job I wanted at Horizon Achievement Centre. I cherish all the wonderful people I have met there.
Finally, I’d like to thank the amazing doctors, nurses, and social workers at the cancer centre. It takes special people to do your job. A special thank you to Dr. Glen Worth for the amazing care you provided over the years. A sincere thank you to Dr. Kodidad, Eleanor, the palliative care team and VON, for their care and support.
