Veronica Gobin passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren. We, her children and our spouses, Gloria (Leo), Shirley (Kishore), Pearly (Issac), Joyce (Fred), Rob (Sandy), Rudy (Shelly), Rick (Nanda), Pat (Shlomi) and Randy are very grateful for the time we have had with our mother. Having lost her husband over forty years ago in Trinidad, Veronica was a pioneer in bringing her family to Canada. She was our rock and guiding light and cared for each one of us like we were her only child. She taught us the real meaning of family and how to stay close and care for each other, a testament to the bond now shared by her children, 26 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Veronica is also fondly remembered by her brothers, Arnim, Austin and Wilbert and their loving families as well as her departed siblings Bertie and Sylvia.

Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Fountain View Care Community and at Michael Garron Hospital: formerly Toronto East General Hospital, for their tender loving care of our mother.
