Every task that he undertook, he always did to the utmost of his abilities and everyone he touched felt his dedication. A special thanks to Dr. K. Penner and nurses, Debbie and Thu Tham, from the Victoria Hospital, for their care and compassion. Dad we take great comfort in knowing that you and mom are together again, love you always.
