JILL RUTH BEGIN April 21, 1958 - January 31, 2003 After a lengthy illness, it is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Jill Begin on Friday, January 31, 2003. Jill was predeceased by her mother Ruth Chamberlain and her sister-in-law Cathy Begin. Jill leaves to mourn her passing, her beloved husband Lloyd and daughter Andrea. She also leaves to cherish her memory, her father Don (Thea) Chamberlain, of Orangeville, ON, brother Ross (Roxanne) Chamberlain of Toronto, ON, mother-in-law Lill Begin of Winnipeg, father-in-law Van Begin of Winnipeg, sisters-in-law, Brenda (Brian) Hamilton of Kitchener, ON and Lana (Doug) Lowry of Peterborough, ON; brothers-in-law, Rob Begin of Sudbury, ON, Roy Begin of Ottawa, ON and Jeff (Carole) Begin of Sudbury. Jill also leaves many nieces, nephews and special friends. Jill and family would like to share a very important part of her life since her first diagnosis with cancer in 1992. Jill over the many years has belonged to various support groups but one very important to her has been Club Mets. In the upcoming February edition of the Breast Cancer Centre of Hope Newsletter "Our Voice" Jill wrote an article "My Cancer Has Spread" which recounts her need for emotional care and finding it with a special group of women called Club Mets. The following is a small excerpt of this article." I found it extremely helpful to belong to a support group, where I met other people with metastatic breast cancer, and who understand the physical and emotional feelings I am going through." Anyone who is living with mestastatic breast cancer and who wishes to seek support and a good chat can contact the The Breast Cancer Centre of Hope. Ph. (204)788-8080 or 1-888-660-4866 or www.breastcancerhope.mb.ca Lloyd and Andrea would like to extend special thanks for the care and support through Jills illness, especially Dr. James Johnston, nurse Giselle Sarbacher and all the chemo staff at CancerCare Manitoba. We would also like to thank special friends Lana, Joann, Marg, Lil, the Bridge Group; Shirley, Signy, Jacquie, Patti, Nancy and Jills friends at Club Mets. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 8 at the Westworth United Church, 1750 Grosvenor Ave., Winnipeg with a reception to follow.
