I met this dear sweet lady last year when my Grandmother was a patient at QGH. I made a point of talking to her every time I was there. She certainly loved her family from the stories she shared with me. Sorry for you loss.

My condolences during this difficult time. I didn’t know Girlie very long but fell in love with her the moment I met her. She had a laugh and a smile that was not only contageous but she lit up the room every time. I’ll miss her wicked sense of humor and her bone crushing hugs most of all.
