So sorry for your loss, so quickly on the heels of Mary Ann's passing. I hope they are in heaven together, behaving like kids, free of their aches, pains and worries. May your grief be eased by the memories of good times spent together.
May you find peace at this difficult time. Hold onto your dads memories and hold them close to your heart. Your dad was a remarkable man, I have to say I loved him dearly. He was such an important person in my Wascana family. We sometimes get attached to patients because we see them more than our own families. I will always remember him for many things such as gardening and the love he had for his wife. May you find peace knowing he’s with your mom again pain free and watching over you all.
