WILKINSON, J. Marie. With sad hearts we have said our good byes to our Mom. She passed away Aug 7, 2012 at Peace Arch Hospice after a courageous 7 month battle against leukemia. She was pre-deceased by her husband Harold in 2006. Adored by her children and grandchildren, Marie will be greatly missed. She was very close to her children; Bob (Laurie)Thomas, Nancy (Bob) McAvoy and Lynda (Ian) Thomas; grandchildren; Scott, Lauren, Justin, Kelsey, Samantha, Colleen and Courtney, their significant partners; one great-grand-daughter, Emily and her step-children/grand-children. Our eternal gratitude to doctors’ Angus McDonald and Charles Li. And a special thank you to all the hospice and acute care nurses who unselfishly cared for her since her admission to hospital in April. Flowers are graciously declined, our wishes are for donations to Peace Arch Hospice or Hematology Department of Vancouver General Hospital. We would be deeply honored by anyone making blood donations to the Canadian Blood Services in our Mom’s name.
