Also, a very special thank you to Dr. Michael Gallivan, whom she truly adored. Thank you to all those who have expressed condolences, reached out through phone calls, and sent gifts, it has been very much appreciated. Mom was very political, as we all knew and I am sure she is haunting Justin Trudeau as I write this. Cremation has taken place. There will be no service, burial will take place at a later date.
