To Nola’s family and friends
With shock and sadness I read the obituary for Nola in the Times Colonist. I had the opportunity and pleasure to know Nola when we worked together at University Hospital in Edmonton 20 some years ago. She was gentle, gracious, always keen to learn and do something new. Her free spirit and infectious humour were always welcomed when we caught ourselves taking work life at the “U” too seriously.
I do not recall having the opportunity to meet the young Ryan, but Nola spoke of you with such pride and affection and joy, it was obvious that you were already her best friend in the world.
It is painfully obvious that her life was too short. But may it help you all to know that I count among the many whose life has been enriched by having Nola in it.
Sincerely,
