I was so sorry to hear of the passing of someone who made a lasting impact on me during my early years at BWRH. As a PSW, she was incredibly hardworking, passionate, and never afraid to speak up or show you how to get the job done right.
I first met her as a teenager starting out in the workplace. She had a way of leading with strength, humour, and a big heart. Her laugh and wit were unforgettable, and by the end of my time at BWRH, I truly adored her.
She paved the way for so many of us, and I carry the work ethic she modeled with me to this day.
May she rest peacefully. My heartfelt condolences to her family and to all who loved her.

Patty LaPorte
So sad to hear this news. She was a dedicated wife, mother to her children and all the extended family members. When I think of my friendship with her, I remember the CWL parish bingo games in the hall (corn seeds not dabbers or chips!), funeral luncheons, Christmas parties and meetings. She was always offering to help, often with practical suggestions. We enjoyed good card games and meals with David and Marilyn. RIP Marilyn now with David.
Condolences to the Durand and Regier families
