Mom and good friend Joyce Conrad
eventually joined forces and took on a few business ventures, where they developed friendships at U of W, Claude Neon, Kinsmen Lake and Stony Mountain Curling Club.
Family was everything to mom. She was your strongest advocate in good times and during times of great challenge. We will all miss her being in our corner no matter what.
Our sincere thank you to Sharon and all staff at Stonewall Hospital and District Health Centre. You all held a very special place in mom's heart. We will never forget the care provided to her over the last couple of years. To the staff on Purple Bear GA - 4 thank you for the exceptional care provided over the last two weeks of her life. Dr. Ponnampalam and Kerry, thank you for the many years of taking care of mom - she thought so much of you. Dr. Graham and Dr. Zahiri (known to mom as Dr. Handsome) thank you for your compassion and care over the last couple of years.
