Rest In Peace RNC SSgt Eric Joseph Nash. It was an honour and a great pleasure to serve you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Our staff, residents and family members from across the province would like to wish Lanes Carbonear resident Hazel Yetman a very happy 100th birthday. Born November 18th, 1920 in Harbour Grace, this wonderful lady has seen it all. From the hardship of the Great Depression of 1920, to the Grand Bank earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 1929, life was not always easy. In 1932, Hazel was present when Amelia Earhart arrived in Harbour Grace; beginning her historic trans-Atlantic ...solo flight just hours later. During World War II, Hazel was knitting socks to support the war effort, and she was also witness to the Water Street fire that struck the town in 1944. Hazel is mother to six children, grandmother to 13, great-grandmother to 11, and great-great-grandmother to five. Her kindness and strength are an inspiration to her family, and the residents and staff at Lanes, and she is a joy to know and to spend time with. Celebrations for Hazel's special day this year will be more subdued due to current COVID-19 restrictions. Staff and residents will gather inside the building, while members of Hazel's family gather outside. To help make this day even more memorable, we are asking each of you to send Hazel some birthday cheer and good wishes via this post, and to like and share this page with others you know. Happy birthday Hazel. Enjoy your special day! You've certainly earned it. The Lanes Team

I stumbled across this on the Internet the other day I asked an elderly man once what it was like to be old and to know the majority of his life was behind him. He told me that he has been the same age his entire life. He said the voice inside of his head had never aged. He has always just been the same boy. His mother's son. He had always wondered when he would grow up and be an old man. He said he watched his body age and his faculties dull but the person he is inside never got tired. Never aged. Never changed. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose.

Lanes Retirement Living is pleased to announce the winner of our first annual Christmas Memories contest. Christina Miville is the winner of a $200 Pipers gift card, with Lanes donating an additional $100 to SeniorsNL on Christina’s behalf. Here is Christina’s heart-warming story and photo submission: "On December 18, 2005, exactly one week before Christmas, our family was dealt a heavy blow. It was the day my brother and I lost our precious dad to heart disease and our mom w...as left without her beloved husband of 25 years. Needless to say, our Christmas that year and for many years after, was less than merry and bright. Christmas has never been the same without his presence. Jumping ahead almost 15 years, I find myself searching for a Christmas photo of us all together. Sadly, there wasn’t one to be found. But I did find one of my favourite photos of my brother and I on our dad’s lap. You see, Dad moonlighted as Santa Claus in the mall at Christmas time. He often reminisced and said it was one of his favourite jobs. To the children who flocked to have their picture taken with Santa, he was real and magical. Whenever I think of my dad, I am filled with fond memories and lessons he taught me. Underneath his big and strong stature, was a little boy who loved to play pranks and a soft-hearted man who would cry while watching the news. He believed in me and always reminded me of my worth. He taught me to never let anyone diminish my spirit and always encouraged me to dream big. I was unique and precious in his eyes. He would be proud to know that his little girl has inherited many of the qualities she admired in him. Looking back at this photo reminds me that my dad is not really gone. I carry him with me every day. He’s always thereat the mention of his name, in a favourite song or a déjà vu moment. He was our very own Père Noel, our superhero all year round and yes, he was indeed, magical. Merry Christmas in heaven, Daddy. We will always love and miss you." Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story, Christina. And a big thank you to our friends at Pipers for providing the gift card. Merry Christmas everyone! The Lanes Team

It's hard to believe that it has been 40 years since Terry Fox first began his Marathon of Hope in support of cancer research, setting out from St. John's, Newfoundland, hoping to raise $1 from each of Canada's 24 million people. Since 1981, the annual Terry Fox Run has raised more than $750 million dollars in Terry's name, with participation in over 60 countries. Each year, Lanes Retirement Living is pleased to do our part, working with The Terry Fox Foundation, our resident...s, families, and staff, to raise money for such a worthwhile cause. This year, we are proud of the $2,745 raised by our team, and we would like to thank everyone for their contribution to this effort. Especially our Botwood and Port Saunders locations who went above and beyond. Thank you! And congratulations to you Terry, on your 40th anniversary. The Lanes Team #TerryFox #LanesGivesBack

Lanes Retirement Living is pleased to announce the winner of our first annual Grandparents Day contest. Hilda Miville is the winner of a $100 Apple gift card, with Lanes donating an additional $100 to SeniorsNL on Hilda’s behalf. Here is Hilda’s story (one that many of us can relate to) and photo submission: "My grandparents were the most dedicated, loving, and resilient couple I have ever known.... My grandfather was a hard working fisherman, who later took a job with the Canadian National Railroad and remained there until his retirement. He was a strict father but turned into a marshmallow around his grandchildren. My fondest memory with him is when he’d share his meal of salt fish with me, advising me to first go get a tall glass of cold water because he knew I was going to need it. He always had Purity Jam Jams and Peppermint Nobs to share, also. I remember he took me with him on a berry picking excursion in his motorboat. I was seasick and I remember him holding me over the edge of the boat so I could throw up. I was just hanging there, but I trusted him completely to keep me safe. He always had my back. He was a man of honesty and conviction and one whom I will never forget. My beautiful grandmother bore and raised 16 children, along with numerous grandchildren and more besides. She was a woman of deep faith, who always said her prayers and belief in God is what got her through each day. She was a kind, gentle and oh so loving soul, with the uncanny ability to make each person feel like they were the most important. She suffered many hardships raising her children, but they were never without food or clothing. When she was having one baby, she couldn’t wait to have another. She was a remarkable, amazing woman and one that I am honoured to call my grandmother. These outstanding people have left footprints on my heart and left a beautiful legacy of unconditional love for those left behind." Thank you Hilda. And congratulations.
