A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. Someone who would always take the time to listen and lend a helping hand.

Our family will be forever grateful to the extraordinary staff on 2West, at the Houses of Providence. We could not have asked for better care over the last five and a half years of my Mom’s very long life. Their care spilled over to looking after my Dad when visiting Mom. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

A heartfelt thank you to my Mom’s roommate of five and a half years, Laurine. Who took my Mom under her wing from the first day she arrived.

 A special thank you to Dr. Robin Verduyn for her care, kindness and compassion.

To all the staff at the Houses, from security guard, activation, dining room and in the Covid testing area, thank you.

If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations to Houses of Providence – In Memory of Barbara Brklacich or the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.
