Mom was always interested in what was going on in the world near and far.  She cared about and was interested in the lives of all her family and friends.

We would like to thank all the caring Staff at Park Place Retirement Residence, who, for 6 years made her life as comfortable and as pleasurable as was possible.  Special thanks to the great staff on 5A and the palliative team at the Civic Campus.
