We are deeply saddened by the passing of a great woman and friend, who we will always remember as a kind, caring and loving person. She took me into her home when I first came to Toronto and helped me through my student years. I have fond memories of her taking me to the gym and despite our 40 year difference in age, she outlasted me in the aerobics classes. She hosted us countless times with her wonderful cooking and company. She used to make us laugh till we cried.
She will be greatly missed.
