Also mourning her are the friends she made during her time in Red Deer but especially her best friend of 71 years Betty Milne. A special thank you to all who came to visit mom during her stay at the hospice. Your visits meant a lot to her and brought a smile to her face. A big thank you, as well, to the amazing and caring staff of the Red Deer Hospice Society.
