I am a nurse at the Hotel Dieu Hospital, ER. Zita and I go back many years and I (along with the rest of the staff) have many fond memories of your Mom. She would always wait so patiently for her turn, no matter what and her visits would never be complete without the two of us sharing a joke- in fact that was mandatory for both of us. She never went home without giving us a laugh or two no matter how poorly she felt. I was off work for a length of time and she would always ask after me and my family. In fact, many times she would write me one of her stories and leave it for me- she had quite the gift. When I returned to work, it was like seeing an old friend.
On behalf of the ER at the Hotel Dieu, please accept our deepest condolences. Zita was quite the character and she will be missed.
Sincerely Joanne Merritt.
