Card of Thanks
Doreen MacDonald

The family of Doreen MacDonald would like to acknowledge those who have been with us this past year. To all of the health care professionals at the different sites within CBRM we thank you for your care and attention, especially the Glace Bay emergency department who guided us on so many occasions. To Tracey Coombs and staff at 4 North Long-Term Care, Glace Bay, we are forever indebted to you for the compassion and kindness, not just shown to our mother but to us as well. We will always consider you family.
To our current and former co-workers, thank you for keeping us strong and helping us put one foot in front of the other. We are so grateful to you for the extra time away from work that we could share with our mother.
Thank you to our friends, neighbours and 12th Street family for always remembering and asking about Doreen. To Terry Banville and Charlie Hart, we will never be able to find the words to tell you how much you meant to both Alex and Doreen and of course to us.
We thank Basil McGillivray and staff at V.J. McGillivray funeral home for their continued professionalism. To the Parish of St. Leonards, Fr. Ray Huntley, choir, readers, gift bearers, servers, Eucharistic Ministers and all who attended the funeral. We were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support out of respect for our mother and sister. To those who provided the lunch at the parish hall, everything was exactly the way she would have planned it.
To all who sent gifts of kindness, made donations in her memory, visited our family home, made phone calls, provided meals, shared stories, sent messages and cards, or just sat quietly remembering us, everything you have done is so much appreciated.
Finally, to our children who graciously accepted the role of pallbearers. It is said that from the moment of conception a mother never stops carrying her children. It was such an honour for Nannie Doreen and for us that her grandchildren carry her to her final resting place. It was a difficult day for you all yet you handled it with grace and dignity.
God Bless you all.

Cathie, Debbie, Joe and families.
Esther and Bernie.
