Our deepest sympathy to Ada and the rest of your family. My daughter Julia (10) became friends with Laura when she and my mom were roomates recovering at Seven Oaks Hospital. Julia always enjoyed her chats with Laura and became pen pals with her after my mom was discharged in April. It was very special especially as we live in Alberta. Julia was so happy to hear from you Ada and from Laura this past Christmas. Julia's going to miss her special, unique friendship with Laura. With our sympathy and prayers. - Posted by: Melissa Wall (Acquaintance ) on: Feb 01, 2017
