A special thank you to Maries Palliative Care Team, Christine Newell, Co-ordinator; homecare workers: Joanne, Sabina, Onnie, Kathy, Teresita and Lydia and her nurse Myrna for their support and compassion. The family also wishes to thank the staff at Riverview Health Centre for their excellent care during Maries short stay.

We think of her in silence, No eyes can see us weep; But still within our aching hearts Her memory we will keep. We love you, Mom CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
