Mum had an incredible work ethic. She worked for many years for senior executives and also dedicated 12 years to staying home to raise her children. She had a talent for writing and enjoyed contributing a weekly column to the local Etobicoke Guardian newspaper. Mum retired at the age of 62 to make more time for fun!
