Leona, Mark, Robyn and I would like to thank the caring staff at My Cape Breton Home and Harbourstone for Mothers care in her final years.
A special thanks to the Borden clan and especially cousin John who helped her over the last years. John, you were the third son and the best of us all.
One final note, over my life Mom and I had a debate about who was luckiest in life to have adopted me. Since I have the final say, I'd say I've been the luckiest son to have a Mother like you.
Forever loved.
Joey & Leona
