We could list all of mom’s character traits but our mom was amazing and for those that were lucky enough to know her knew that well and for those that did not get a chance to know her you missed out on one fantastic lady.
We will miss you mom.
The family would like to give a special thank you to the close friends for their respect, kindness, care and support and to the Kamloops Hospice for their loving care.
Mom always said, “Life is for the living” Hence her wishes were to not have a funeral service.
