A Dear Friend!


A dear friend of mine, Orion, passed away on Wednesday of this week.  I will miss her so much.  I met Orion at Wellspring Brampton when I was recovering from breast cancer treatment.   She too was a survivor. 
Orion had a wonderful positive attitude and a great sense of humour.  She loved her family and she loved life!  I knew right from the start that we were kindred spirits. 


We had many things in common....we both were retired teachers, we both had daughters that are teachers and we were both enjoying rediscovering knitting and crocheting. We spent many hours sharing stories, working out patterns, and just enjoying each others company. 


Orion put up a long and spirited battle against this terrible disease.  Her zest for life and learning was inspiring to all who knew her. 


We are a close supportive group, the Knitters at Wellspring, and Orion will be truly missed.
