Mom was a smiling, happy go lucky, faithful loving lady and her love for life, family, nature and God showed us this every day.

Mom was very strong, not only in her faith but until her final breath. She faced life challenges saying “Let God’s will be done’’. Mom was an inspiration. Her joie de vie was contagious and felt by all those who crossed her path. Mom’s last four years were fulfilled by the loving, compassionate care from the staff at Grace Village where she felt so at home.

Donations in memory can be made to the Grace Village Care Foundation, marked for the Dr. Klinck Fund (for residents who cannot afford the full cost of care), 1515 Pleasant View, Sherbrooke, QC, J1M 0C6 would be appreciated.
