This motto served her well all her life as she gave 100% to everything she did. She was a beautiful, elegant and kind woman who loved her garden and could grow anything . Enjoying nature, especially the birds she always fed made her very happy. A memorial service will be held at Ocean View Funeral Home, 4000 Imperial St. Burnaby at 1PM on Monday August 19th.
