Mom loved life, during her lifetime, she met and made many friends coast to coast. She always had lots of love to give, advice to share, a helping hand wherever needed, she was dedicated to her family and to God. From being a bookkeeper, Human Resources Manager of a large hotel and convention center, helping Brun run their own business, being an entrepreneur, she was always involved. Mom loved to travel and had the opportunity to go to Europe, India, several states, the Caribbean, across Canada by car, but home was where she couldn’t wait to get!

Mom was my best friend, confidant, shopping pal, counsellor and cheerleader. Everyday we made sure to tell each other “I love you.”

"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21).
