Obituary of Barbara Leco

Barbara Assaf (Leco) Passed away peacefully, in the loving arms of her son Patrick. She was predeceased by her father Edward Assaf. Barbara will be forever loved, remembered and cherished by her family, friends and neighbours. In her private life, she touched the hearts of everyone who knew her. Her courage and fortitude on the tennis court were reflected in her ten year battle with breast cancer. The family would like to thank Dr. Paul Klimo of Vancouver, and Dr. Rashida Haq - Chief of Oncology, St. Michael's Hospital - who together, extended Barbara's life beyond even the most optimistic hopes. The family would like to extend a very special expression of gratitude to the staff at St. Michael's Hospital for their outstanding, care and compassion. A Celebration of Barbara's life will take place in the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Davisville Avenue) on Wednesday November 24, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that Barbara's family, friends and neighbours make a financial donation to the St. Michael's Hospital Foundation.
