Mom and Dad were to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on February, 2002. Mom was a very devoted wife who was Dads source of strength, comfort, and encouragement throughout their many years together. Their love for each other was an inspiration to us all. Mom, and their son Ken provided around the clock care which enabled Dad to enjoy his final days at home where he most wanted to be, with his family. Dad had a very gentle spirit. He was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone in need. He always put others needs before his own. Dad had numerous talents including many musical talents that kept his family and friends entertained over the years. Dad was not only a husband, father and grandfather to us all but he was always a great friend who always had time to listen. He loved us all unconditionally. He was a very special gifted person that shared his gifts with all. Special thanks to Auntie Yvonne, and Uncle Rosario, whom spent many hours keeping Dad company throughout his illness. Also, Father Dado for his spiritual care and many prayers. The family would also like to express their thanks to the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital, Dr. Kumar of Nielsens homeopathic clinic, and the palliative care team at St. Boniface Hospital for their care and compassion.
