15 March 2008

Hello again,

The Ides of March…

For the time being, Joanne remains at home. Michelle and Craig have returned from Winnipeg so the family is all together. Joanne’s aunt, Lorna Mae is here helping with her care and she is providing incredible support to all, but especially to Gord and Mom. Joanne remains comfortable and her symptoms are being well managed. At this point, it is likely that Joanne will return to the hospital in the next couple of days. I will continue to post with updates as things change.

Thanks again for your continued support.

Darryl

Joanne,
May your journey be a peaceful one and the love in your family hold each and everyone of you up through this transition.

Words do not come easy, but a heartfelt love and compassion do.

The River Jordan is deep and wide, with milk and honey on the other side....

Hallelujah, Joanne...

Fondly,

Our sadness grows with each passing day. I only hope and pray that each day for Joanne now is gentler than the one before. Our hearts go out to all of you in Regina who are bravely walking this road with her.
