Thank you to the staff of 7 West and ICU at Hamilton General. Ron fought a hard battle with Lewy Body Disease, and I would like to thank Dr. Goodacre, Dr. Cowan and counsellor Gloria for helping us through this battle. It was very tough.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Salvation Army “Soup Van Ministry” (94 York Blvd., Hamilton, ON, L8R 1R6) to help nourish and clothe people in need. When I come to the end of my journey, And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget that I ever frowned And remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken, Forget I ever had a heartache And remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered, And sometimes I fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won. Forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you my family and friends Sad for a day. Ponder for a moment about me And try to remember Only the best.
