Margaret worked hard all her life
raising her children. She worked at Niagara
Meadows Campsite, and followed this by years of
delivering for Niagara Drugs, and
retiring at the age of 77 from Niagara Big V. She
truly showed us how to live life. She was the foundation
of this family. She showed us how to live and laugh.
She also showed us how to survive what life throws
at you, and knowing you would be ok.
The family would like to thank all of those who
helped support her and her family in her time of need.
Thank you to Drs. Prince, Boli, Nagi and Geisbrecht for
the care they have provided for her health and well being. Also,
CCAC and the nursing staff for the care provided by them, the neighbors who cooked her meals, and a special
thank you to Vic and Christa for the many meals sent to her
and the family through this difficult time. We thank you,
and Mom thanks you. Also taking his journey home
to look after his mom, as he did in his life with her, Tiki will
be missed by all who loved him(April 10/2010).
