Your visits to the funeral home and funeral meant so much to us. We would like to personally thank Rev. Effie Organ for such a wonderful service for Lorna and the visits at the palliative care unit. We would also like to thank the absolutely beautiful and extraordinary staff at the Corner Brook Palliative Care Unit. The team of doctors, and nurses provided such genuine and compassionate care. They are all truly angels on earth. We will never forget how your kindness and thoughtfulness have helped us through this very difficult time. Lorna always had a strong faith in the Lord, therefore we are sure she is at rest now. God Bless
