Many thanks to the home care girls for their attention and concern, and to the staff on the third floor, Unit 4 of Seven Oaks Hospital, for their excellent care and compassion at this time. A special thanks to all her friends at 1630. A celebration of her life will be held at Klassen Funeral Chapel, at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, August 28.
