We spent our last night with mom gathered by her bedside cheering on the Leafs, something mom really enjoyed doing, her son in law Jamie Kardal got her hooked!! And Nylander her favorite player scored 2 goals for her! Woot!
Mom also really enjoyed her visits to Vermilion Bay she made some pretty special friendships with my girls Tasha Lynn and Carman Brignall❤️
