My sincere condolences for the loss of your mom. I worked with Shirley at the Sherbrooke hospital and one could always count on her to put a smile on your face. I was fortunate enough to share some more laughs and memories with Shirley when I visited her at the Home. RIP ShirleyDonna Armstrong-Jolin

Barry, Scott and families.
Our deepest and sincerest sympathies in the loss of your dear mother/grandmother, she will certainly be missed by those that knew and loved her. I worked with her at Sherbrooke Hospital, there was never a dull moment and her sense of humour always made every shift go by quickly! I had a wonderful visit with her on Tuesday so was most shocked to hear of her passing the very next day. Hold on to the good memories, we know that you must have many.Wendell and Nancy Smith
