She will be dearly missed by her family and many friends. A special thank you to both the Temmy Latner Centre for their excellent at-home-palliative-care support, and to the Palliative Care Unit of Baycrest Hospital.

In lieu of owers, the family would appreciate donations to either the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Canadian Mesothelioma Foundation.
