was the latest local or international situation. Throughout her life she
encouraged many people to determine what they wanted to do and said, "ÃThen
get on with it. "Ä Paraphrased comments about her include: "ÃShe had a quiet
but firm presence and a gentle often mischievous smile when we talked Ç I
enjoyed the bantering your Mom and I did; she was a bright and engaging
ladyÇ I wish I'd had more time with your momÇ She sorted through quarters to
find the ones I needed for my collectionÇ "Ä And from a man who knew her
when he was a child, "ÃGive her a big hug for me, and whisper to her that I
love her. "Ä She leaves this earthly life taking with her a brilliant mind
and giving rest to a tired body. We wish to thank all the people who cared
for her so lovingly: the staff and residents at Casa Loma; the Home and
Community Nurses; Doctors Wiens, Winter, and Aldis; and many family members
and friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 11 at 1:30
pm at Comox United Church, 250 Beach, Comox, BC. Retired Lay Chaplain of the
