Alma was a beacon of strength and an inspiration to all. She was known as the longest breast cancer survivor at Juravinski Cancer Centre. She had an infectious personality, leaving smiles on whoever was privileged to know her. We will sadly miss and never forget her witty and inviting nature and her incredible memory, with the ability to recollect any number of special moments in the lives of everybody she knew.

Many thanks to the Palliative Care 3 West Team and volunteers at St. Peter's Hospital, for their incredible compassion and care. A heartfelt thank you also goes to the Juravinski Cancer Centre for their amazing care of Alma for 35 years.
