We, her daughters, would like to especially thank Moms extended family and community of friends who visited her often and offered their support in many ways, as we all struggled to come to terms with her illness. We would also like to thank the home care attendants who helped us to keep Mom at home during the majority of her illness. We also appreciate the quality care that our mom received during her short stay at the Selkirk General Hospital, under the excellent guidance of Dr. H. Demsas and the nursing staff that she herself was once a part of for some 20 years. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Selkirk General Hospital, Palliative Care. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.
