Roxane GARLAND Obituary
After a short, vicious battle with M.S. and CCSVI Roxane passed away with her family at her side on Sunday, July 22, 2012. She never gave up hope and even through all the hard times she kept fighting and always was more worried about her loved ones than herself. The family would like to thank all for the help and kindness of friends and family, as well the hard work and compassion of the Dr.'s and nurses of the RGH emergency and ICU units. The family would also like to thank the Management of Redhead Equipment for all the support and understanding. Rocky would want people to keep on trying to get CCSVI treatment available in Canada and more importantly, the follow up care that she so desperately needed but could not attain. She is predeceased by her father, Bob Peters and grandma, Rookes. Rocky will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Vince; daughters, Tessa Peters-Garland, Brianna Garland; Vince's son, Kale Garland; mother, Maggie Peters (Adolf); brother, Owen (Nicole) Peters; nieces and nephew, Jose and Austin Peters, Lance Garland and numerous other family. At Roxane's request there will be no service.

Dearest Roxane,
We had the pleasure of meeting awhile ago while on our CCSVI journeys. You fought so hard and I will continue to fight for this situation to be made right for our fellow MSkuteers in Canada. I will always remember your infectious laugh and sense of humor my friend. Your smile would light up a room. You are now our CCSVI Angel helping from heaven and we will meet up again one day where there is no pain or suffering. May Vince, your girls and your entire family know just how much you are loved and missed by our MS/CCSVI community. Rest in Peace Rocky you suffer no more pretty lady. xoxo

THIS CHILD OF MINE
God said, “I will lend you this child of mine for 1, 2, 10, 20, 30 years or more.
Take her, teach her, love and cherish her, but when it is time for me to take her home, mourn no more, for I will take her in my arms forever more”.
