Heather White & Kate Gahan, Angels

These two amazing women were nominated by Christina Glover who wrote;

“There were times during this GAIN Project where the pressure was high and energy levels dwindling. These two were always supportive and we never gave up as a team to make sure we could accomplish what seemed impossible at times. Heather selflessly put in many extra hours to help me with the HRCM testing, even on the weekend, and then she still had to complete her regular duties (and year end!). She never once complained, just simply asked, “how can I help you or what do you need me to do?” And Kate, well I don’t think there are enough words to describe how much Kate has sacrificed to this Project. But it’s the same with her, no matter how hard or stressful it became she always had a team attitude, stayed positive and on point. These two were the epitome of guardian angles for me throughout this project, I couldn’t have done my part so well without their support. They deserve to wear their pins proudly and know how awesome they are. Total Rock Stars!”

This is a second Angel Pin for Heather White. Congratulations to you both!

The individual who nominated Tina wishes to remain anonymous as they feel their observations and appreciation for Tina is shared by many others.

Tina was seen lugging a heavy table and setting up a display for St. Patrick’s Day activities. She was laughing with fellow staff members as she went about her task. The person who nominated Tina said it was then that they realized how often they noticed Tina helping other staff/volunteers and how involved she is in staff activities. “Always Cheerful”

This is Tina’s second Guardian Angel Pin.

Congratulations Tina!

Mrs. Gordena Solowjew (93) and her daughter Nancy and daughter-in-law Cathie recently presented Dr. Graeme McKillop with a Guardian Angel pin as their way of thanking him for all the years he took such great care of Gordena. Dr. McKillop took over her care when Dr. King retired in the late 80s. He’s been with her through ups and downs and recently saw her through her transition to Country Haven. The two share a love for all things Scottish and both agreed that having a laugh along the way has been a big part of their relationship..

Congratulations Dr. McKillop!

Dr. Tiffany came to Almonte at the age of two. He attended St. Mary’s and Almonte High School, went to Montreal to do his under graduate studies in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University, completed his medical studies in Grenada and New York and did his Residency in Long Island. Dr. Tiffany returned to Almonte and joined the Ottawa Valley Family Health Team and works in the Almonte General Hospital Emergency Department, assists in the Operating Room, and cares for hospital in-patients.

An irregular heartbeat brought Bert to the emergency room during wee hours of the morning in March. He was having a heart attack. It was a long uncertain night and when none of the usual protocols worked Dr. Tiffany’s experience gave him the answers that Bert is certain saved his life.

The following week, Bert stopped by Dr. Tiffany’s office to surprise him with a Guardian Angel pin. A quiet man, Bert offered his hand and the pin to Dr Tiffany. The look exchanged between the two said everything that needed saying.

Congratulations Dr. Tiffany!
