Happy 100th Fay

 

Back in the 1980's I worked with Laurie.  We've been friends ever since.  Laurie's mom was a single mother and at 55 she had terminal cancer.  Her best friend Fay was a nurse.  Fay quit her job to look after Laurie's mom.  Her mom asked Laurie to always look after Fay.  She is a lovely single lady with no family in Canada.  Laurie has always looked after Fay.  She started to get dementia a few years ago and now is living in Dr. Al Hogg Pavilion which is part of Peace Arch Hospital.

Laurie came to visit my brother-in-law while I was visiting and I went over to see Fay at her birthday party.  Phil was playing his guitar and singing to the crowd,  He had a great voice and sang songs all the people in the facility would remember.  Fay sang along with some and actually conducted him with a chocolate bar.

It was a lovely afternoon for a lovely lady!  Happy 100th Fay.

She received greetings from the Governor General and King Charles and Queen Camilla.  Laurie had them framed and they are putting them up in her room!
