Peter fought hard to win his battle with cancer and appreciated every one of you who supported him, and all of us, through his journey. Thank you.

Peter was so well cared for on 5 East at the Ottawa General Hospital and we can’t thank the doctors, nurses, and support workers enough for their care, compassion, and help to all of us over the past five months. A very special thank you to Dr. Condon, Rayelle, Dr. Munro and Liz who all made a difference. A special thank you to Dr. Lambert and the nurses on the second floor of the Cancer Centre.

In lieu of flowers please consider giving blood or making a donation in Peter’s memory to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation Cancer Research or to 5 East.
