A special thank you to all the staff, especially the 3rd floor medical team at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket and the RCU Rehabilitation Centre in North York for all their work with John’s mobility issues from fractures, providing their care and following the wishes of John in his palliative state.

Though John’s stay at Sunrise Assisted Living in Aurora was short, his medical team was wonderful and provided comfort during his transition to living with assistance.
