Rest in Peace.

The mighty "little doctor with the glasses". The voice of reason and calm during the SARS crisis.

If she'd have made it she would have been a great Provincial health minister I think.

Actually she was the Province's Chief Medical Officer of Health; the top position in her field.  It certainly is a tragedy for her family, friends and the ppl of Ontario.

Bad things certainly do happen to good ppl with alarming frequency these days it seems.
