Special thanks to the wonderful and caring staff at The Village of Glendale Crossing, who cared so lovingly for mom for 6 years, and most especially in her final days. Heartfelt thanks to At Your Service for Seniors, and especially Jeanne Walker, who helped make mom’s days the very best days possible in every way. We are very grateful.
My deepest sympathy at this saddest of times in the loss of your beloved Babs (mother, grandma, gg, sister, aunt).
I always admired her sass, and of course her fashion taste – always impeccable and cool.
Sending my love to Kelly and Steven and all of your family.

Babs was my beautiful Aunt I have fond memories of her. I remember going to her house as a child and she put on the movie Grease and it was forever my favourite movie since Babs was a funny wonderful soul with so much class.
Rest in sweet peace Babs
Babs & I worked together for many years at LHSC. We had the best of times! She was always dressed beautifully & we sure had some laughs! She was smart, funny, a good listener & she loved her family dearly. I will always remember her & Wally – dear friends who are finally back together in Paradise …xo
