Deepest condolences to you Ivan and all your family. I had the pleasure of working with your Mom in the nursing department at Glenbrook Lodge years ago when I was just starting my career. She was so kind to all the residents and to everyone including me. I have many fond memories of her, she was such a lovely lady.
