The family members of a resident who lived at
Almonte Country Haven for a decade recently donated
a limited edition wildlife print in memory of
their mother, Frances McGregor, who died in the
spring.
Darlene Thibault, life enrichment co-ordinator
for the long-term care home, says Frances was
so well-known, being a resident there for 10 years.
"The family felt that the staff could share
in the memory of their mother," says Darlene.
"Apparently she loved wildlife and would
have approved of such a gift."
The artwork, ‘Winterlude Blue Jays’
by Christine Marshall, is valued around $2,100.
"It really is quite beautiful in person,"
says Darlene.
In the letter accompanying the painting, the
family writes they "hope that this image
will bring joy and comfort to the present residents
and those that follow in the future."
