and always appreciated having her days brightened by family,
Friends, former neighbours, Bendix co-workers and Laundry Factory
customers. She choose to be grateful for what came her way rather
than to complain about what didn't and, while receiving excellent
care from Doctor

and nursing staff on the second floor of the G&M Hospital during
her final months, was able to eloquently remind us all about
what is truly important in life. May her spirit live on to help
make the world a better place. Visitation will be held Friday,
