We would like to thank Dr. Musa, who has been an extraordinary family doctor. Dr. Musa’s professionalism and kindness has gone above and beyond with her care for Mom. It was much appreciated and will not be forgotten.

Also, a huge thank you to the Continuing Care Nurses, especially Jessica Oram, who diligently took care of Mom before her admission to the hospital. The kindness and professionalism was appreciated

Thank you to Dr. Dicks who admitted Mom to James Paton Memorial Hospital and was so caring and kind to her. All the nursing staff on the OBS Unit were absolutely outstanding in their care for Mom as well. We really appreciate all they did to make Mom comfortable during her short stay.

The Personal Care Home, Oram’s Bethesda Manor #1, was Mom’s home since 2021 and we would like to thank the Manager, Myah Janes, and all the kind professional staff all the home. She loved to chat to the staff (especially to Jeff who she loved to carry on with and had a soft spot for). A special thanks to Robin, Doris, Jodi, Terri Lynn, Rick, Judy, Sherri, Chris, Tony, Adrianne and for those who we have missed for the special attention you gave to Mom during her stay. She also enjoyed her relationships with the friends she made while she was a resident at the home especially her two special friends Lorna and Madelyn. Her experience at Oram’s Bethesda was wonderful and we are greatly indebted to all who were involved with Mom’s care and made her feel loved when we could not be there. One of the things she most enjoyed at Oram’s was the musical acts that performed for the residents. No doubt she is clapping her hands and singing along to the music in heaven with Dad by her side now.

A special thank you and many blessings to Rev. Brian Candow for his ongoing care and support during this difficult time and always. We will always remember your devotion and kindness to Mom forever.

Flowers are welcome or donations can be made in Mom’s memory to Gander and Area SPCA. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Stacey’s Funeral Home, Gander.
