Meg’s family would like to thank the Aberdeen Hospital management, staff, and the residents and their family members who have been a part of Meg’s life over the last 15 years. Meg spoke fondly of you to us. We are grateful because you were there every day, all day, being present with Meg when we as family could not always be there. 

We would also like to thank the Emergency Department and the Coronary Care Unit of the Royal Jubilee Hospital. We would like to acknowledge the staff of 8 North, The Respiratory Department of the Jubilee Hospital who were like Meg’s second family. Meg loved the eighth-floor staff and the views she could get from her room. She called it her “vacation location”.

Meg’s family would also like to acknowledge the professional work of the B.C. Ambulance service who responded and greatly assisted Meg during times of emergency over the last fifteen years, especially August 8, 2023.

  1. Just being in Meg’s presence was peaceful and inspiring at the same time
    She definitely had an impact on me when I worked at the Cathedral in the early 1980’s
    As has been said by Linda she was an amazing proclaimer of the Word
    We really heard the Word as Meg proclaimed
    I also remember she smiled so authentically that she made you feel all truly was well in life and in the world
    Keep praying for us Meg as we honour you
