We would like to thank the staff of both MacGillivary and Harbourstone Guest Homes for their kindness and care. Dr. Hall, Dr. Ritter and Mary Ruth for their care and compassion.
Mom had the biggest heart and smile in the world. She loved everyone regardless of race, creed or colour. Nothing was out of reach because of her love and belief of God the Father. Her love for animals and children was evident in her compassion and gentle touch towards them. Always there for anyone who ever needed her, regardless of time. Her words of wisdom and encouragement helped many get through tough times. She will be sadly and forever missed by many.
