Georgette Thomson

This dedication is in the memory of Georgette Thomson, or for those who knew her best, "Georgie", "Qeenie", "Gette" or "Grandma Mookie". A grandmother, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt…a friend. Georgie had a tremendous impact on our lives and we are definitely richer for having being part of hers.

It was February of last year when we discovered that Georgie had pancreatic cancer. By the time of her diagnosis, the disease had already taken an incurable hold. However, Gette was the first to say "I’m not going without a fight." Her courage and spirit were immeasurable. Each moment was a moment that she treasured. She was our strength through the most difficult times, even into her final moments. Should would not allow a tear to be shed, not even one. Her courage never wavered, she found peace and passed in August on her terms.

Georgie loved life and treasured the simple moments. She loved the sound of gentle rain and cherished her walks in the forest after a rain storm. She loved long hot baths and cuddling in front of a fire on a cold winter’s night.
Georgie continues to be a source of inspiration as she has taught us so much. Live life…love life…cherish life.
