Goodbye Nanny. 안녕히가세요. Au Revoir. Kwaheri.


Sadly, on April 29th of this year, my great-grandmother (more casually known as Nanny) passed away in her sleep at the age of 99. Nanny played a big role in my life, including watching me after school for years when my parents could not make it home in time. I owe a lot to her and her memory as most of what I've accomplished in my life would not be possible without her support (both financial and emotional) for me and the rest of my family. Being half a world away was tough, but I was able to catch a plane back to Canada for her funeral.

I received several donations in her name. I would like to take the time to thank the following people:
  • Bunny & Paul Zaza
  • Liz and Graham Lightfoot
  • Sarah Chisholm
  • Carol Chisholm
  • Judy Morely
  • Joan & Enzo Deluca
  • Joe, Sandra, Chris & Dan Lovranski
  • Marshall & Jean Davidson
  • Peggy Martin
  • Thelma Oddi
  • Yolandi Ricci
  • Barb Martin
  • Rita Molinaro
I hope that I have not missed anyone. Thank you all for your kind donations. And I would like to say one last thank you to Nanny. She lived a long life and helped many people along the way. For this I am extremely grateful that I got the time that I did.
