We would like to thank each and every one of you a million times over for your support and generosity. Mom was treated very special by everyone during her 8 week stay in St. Joseph's and the Regina General Hospitals; right from admitting, to emergency staff, housekeeping, nursing staff and all of the doctors involved with her care. We appreciated being able to leave the hospital each night to try and enjoy what little sleep we could, knowing that Mom was being left in such good hands. We know your jobs are not easy, but are certainly appreciated and respected. We thank you all. The dozens upon dozens of cards we received, each with a special little memento about how Mom was remembered, really touched our hearts. The many phone calls to us offering assistance for everything from lodging, to trips to airports, to the lending of vehicles ... this was all very much appreciated. The financial support to "The New Regional Nursing Home", in Mom's memory, the dozens of bouquets of flowers and the overwhelming gifts of food were all received through tears just knowing how much people really do care when one is left with such a huge hole in their hearts. It is obvious that the "Mama" is the hub of the wheel in more families than just ours. The many handshakes, hugs and shoulders to cry on will always be remembered and were most certainly needed. The understanding the many employers had while we were going through this extremely difficult period in our lives most certainly did not go unnoticed. We thank you all. To Father Peter, for his many reassuring and comforting visits with Mom while she was in the hospital, together with his well spoken homily at the celebration of Mom's life, to the Catholic Church choir, the altar servers, the readers and the C.W.L. for the lovely lunch, you all did an exceptional job. Thanks to Doug Third for his heartwarming compassion and to Dustin Hall for his soothing voice and the amazing job you both did at the prayer service. And last but not least, to Dustin and his entire staff at Hall Funeral Services; you truly do provide a service with professionalism, compassion and integrity. It takes very special people to deal with families who are experiencing such devastation in their lives. You helped us as a family as well as looked after all of our individual needs, from the music, to the beautiful candles, to the special private, family interment. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mom lived simply, loved generously, cared deeply, spoke kindly and left the rest up to God. - Sincerely, The Twelve "D's" and their Families
