I would like to thank everyone who came to Donna's celebration of life and for everyones contributions to the celebration and to her care. When I first asked for help to take care of Donna I didn't expect that so many of her friends and family would help out so much. I would like to thank everyone who helped both financially and for your moral support that I know was so important to Donna.
As promised at the beginning I will donate money that was left over for Donnas care unless otherwise directed to the ALS society ( They were very good to Donna and deserve all the help we can give them) I have some who have directed me otherwise and if anyone wishes me to do so, please email me at dopaterson@yahoo.ca . I have worked out that 21% of the donated money was left over and I will donate that to the ALS society by Dec 5th unless otherwise directed.
Once again, thank you so much for your help from Doug, Donna,Christina and Theresa.

I am not sure if I mentioned that everyone is welcome to share something about Donna or just say something to her. Donna also loved a good joke and she was always asking me to tell her a joke. She has heard all mine, so I have a couple of new ones that I will share with you for Donna. If you have any to tell Donna I know that wherever she is she will appreciate hearing from all of us.
Doug

Hi all of Donnas friends and family. Donna passed away peacefully at 2:15 this afternoon ( Tuesday Nov. 18 2008 ) We will be arranging a memorial in Airdrie within the next week or so and will update everyone when we know more. Thanks to everyone for all your help and we hope to see you when we can get together.
Bye for now Doug.

For anyone who may not know yet, Donna is in intensive care. She will be kept on a machine to help her breathe for the next few days and then they will see if she can breathe on her own. Anyone can visit her in the icu on the main floor of the Rockyview hospital in the next couple of days. She may or may not be awake. I will be around most of the time, so I might see you there.
Bye for now Doug.

Hi again, just a quick update. Donna is in the Rockyview rm. 8204 ( 8th floor, unit 82, room 04). It looks like the earliest she will get home is Friday Nov 21. Anyone wishing to visit, please drop by, I will be there most of the time and if I am not she would still like to she everyone and have the company.
Bye for now Doug.
