“The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when
compared with the pain of never risking love.”
Hillary Stanton Zunin
In lieu of flowers, it was Olev’s wish that donations be made in his name to the London Regional Cancer Program in recognition of their care and sustained efforts to rid him of the insidious disease.
