Sincerest thanks to Barb Karschti, Scott Lane, Sharyn Troisi, and Leah Ray for their assistance in making mum’s life easier, to Dr. Alistair Ingram at St. Joseph’s, and the emergency staff at Juravinski Hospital, especially angels Carole and Marcia, for treating my mother as their own. To all those who knew and cherished my mother, know that she cherished you tenfold. You kept the joy in her life, and her energy came from you. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 24, at 10:30 a.m. at Ryerson United Church, 265 Wilson Street East, Ancaster. A reception will follow in the Fireside Room. Arrangements entrusted to DODSWORTH & BROWN FUNERAL HOME - ANCASTER CHAPEL.

Look up in the sky tonight. You’ll notice there’s one more shining star.
