numerous health challenges with a combination of humour, wisdom

phone in show), read the Toronto Star cover to cover every day,

blue eyes, her keen intelligence, her kindness, her inner strength&hellip

funeral. There will be a private cremation and family celebration
of her life, as per her wishes. If desired, donations can be
