Mom left a legacy of being a great cook, wonderful knitter and seamstress, terrific hairdresser, fabulous caregiver and talented piano/organ player. She never lost her sense of humour. Mom and Dad made their home in Port Perry, retired to Shady Acres, Caesarea and when Dad became ill, they found their forever after home in West Shore Village. The staff became family and were there for her through the good and bad right to her final day. We will be forever grateful to all her caregivers and her Doctor, Steve Russell. She loved you all!
