The family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to Linda Hamel for showing so much kindness to mom throughout her, and Bob’s illness, and continuing to show love and support her family. Also thank you to the nurses and doctors at Health Sciences North (8th floor North Tower), for their care and compassion.
