Mum moved to Lion's Manor in 2009 and looked forward to her weekly tea parties with her two grandsons, Mason and Morgan and daily visits with her dog Boo. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the wonderful staff of the Supportive Living Unit at Lions Manor and the caring and experienced staff of St. Boniface Hospital who provided kind and compassionate care to Mom that allowed her to pass with dignity and grace.
