Many thanks to the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at the W. G. Bishop Nursing Home for making her stay so comfortable. Our family is forever grateful for the loving care you have shown to Beatrice throughout the years. This has been a very difficult time for our family, but it was much easier with your dedication, expertise, kindness, professionalism and support. From our family to yours, a very sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts. For the people who did not know my Mom you may be familiar with some of her handy work. She and my Dad Steve would pick many lupines from the family farm every summer and gather up the seeds. Then off to Fredericton they would go, sowing the seeds as they went. So the next time you are on your way to town, tell the story to someone of how my Mom and Dad made this boring trip to town much more pleasant by looking at all these beautiful flowers . This will keep their memories alive forever. Resting at Hogg Funeral Services (10 King Street, Minto) with visiting on Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8pm. Funeral Mass will be celebrated 11:00 Wednesday, June 17, 2015 from Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Interment will take place in Saint Bridget’s Cemetery, Hardwood Ridge, NB For those who wish, donations made to Cancare NB Foundation Inc.
