All鈥檚 right with the world!

Pippa Passes

by Robert Browning

Pippa鈥檚 understanding, love and kindness was pure and shone brightest in her love for her children. The career Pippa chose at Family Services in Campbell River allowed her the opportunity to share her wisdom, compassion and unconditional respect of others in giving her support to her community鈥檚 young mothers. Her brilliant wit and passion for life was known to all who were blessed by her presence. Pippa鈥檚 battle with leukemia was tremendous and she had many victories. She stood with courage, strength and incredible grace.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the doctors and nursing staff at VGH, BC Cancer Agency and the Palliative Response Team for their caring support. Thank you to Dr. Neil McKinney and Dr. Clayton Smith for standing beside our Pippa by recognizing and respecting her gift as a teacher.
