I had the pleasure of knowing Vaida while she attended the Physical Maintenance Program at Parkwood Hospital. Always one to quietly chat with the person sitting next to her or smile at the daily fun we had in class. Vaida will be fondly remembered by the participants, volunteers and staff at the PMP. Thank you for supporting her attendance. Our condolences.
Love You Nanny xoxo
