Four charged with drug trafficking by Anishinabek Police after stop in Lambton Shores
PHOTO: A lifetime of love
February 14, 2014
On Valentine’s Day, We thought we’d share this lovely photo which think depicts life-long love.
This was one of the scenes when Fiddick’s officially opened the 36 new nursing beds at their Petrolia facility. Hugh and Nancy MacDougall are two of the people benefiting from the beds.
The pair, who are the in-laws of Lambton County Deputy Warden Bev MacDougall, recently moved to Fiddick’s after Nancy spent some time in hospital.
Nancy needed nursing care and Hugh was to live in the retirement home side of the building. Everyday Hugh would go to be with Nancy in her room until one evening he refused to leave saying it was about time he slept with his wife again.
The staff at Fiddick’s worked quickly to get the pair into one of the new rooms for couples and during Thursday’s tour to see the renovated facility, the couple could be seen lying together on a single bed, holding hands, content just to be together.
