Mom was gifted at crocheting, loved to play cards with her friends and going to bingo and karaoke, listening to Elvis and Pavarotti and of course collecting her angels.
She was quick witted and sharp tongued, and at times stubborn as a mule but kind and generous to a fault. You could always count on her to say I'll put the kettle on for tea and whatever she had, she would share with whoever needed it.
Many thanks to Cape Breton Cancer center, Palliative Care, Doctors nurses and staff of 3B & 4B Regional Hospital, Pollete's Pharmacy, VON Nurses and to the caring staff of County Homemakers for their kindness and compassion during Mom's illness.
To the many friends and neighbors who checked on her and kept her company, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
