Dion was one of the kindest, most generous women I had the pleasure of knowing. She had a beautiful spirit and a loving heart. She was a great mother to Lilyanna and I'm proud to have known her. She will never be forgotten by those of us who had the pleasure to know her. My heart ❤️ is heavy and I feel for her family for she is a person who will be greatly missed.
Hi Lilyanna, I knew your Mom very well. We used to have lots of fun in Cochrane when we were both teenagers. Your Mom worked as a nanny - that's how she came to live there. I am so sorry that she has passed away. She was a very kind person - someone you could always confide in and whom you knew would always be there for you. We shared a very deep love for animals. She had reached out to me on Facebook a year or so ago. We were in Calgary for a while. I am so regretful that we didn't take the time to meet up. I wish I had known she was ill. You feel free to reach out to me any time. My sincere condolences to you. Your Mom was a bright, honest, strong and very real person. Hugs, Debbie
