My thoughts and prayers are with the Nelligan and Tatroe families as you begin to wade through the emotions that come with saying our goodbyes to someone who has meant so much to us for so long. Though we miss them terribly and our love for them never dies, remember she is still here, always with you. In your heart, and in your memories. Our souls complete the earthly journey so that it can return home and be whole again. Talk to her when you think of her, she can still hear you and will love that. All Gods blessings on both families.

She was a wonderful clinical site supervisor and inspiration for our students. We all learned a lot from her. I consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to know her.

My dearest Spot. Want you to know that I miss our coffee mornings. I am a better person having you as friend. My little flower has danced its petals off today. You were right, I look at it and smile. :. I will never be able to eat a burger at the spot without thinking of you. I miss you more than you know, and in the short span of our friendship, grew to love you more than all the star in the night sky. Rest in peace my dear friend. I will see you after goodbye.
