You have gone to join Dad, Frida, Menka, Louie, Kay, Tim and many others who will greet you with open arms. Once again we are diminished but you leave us well, with the cupboards full, your work here done. God bless you and thank you for everything we have. Rest in peace. Our thoughts will be with you always. The family would like to thank Doctors Taylor and Rubin and the entire team at Toronto General Hospital that went to extraordinary lengths for Eva.

Bunny met her future husband, John Quail, who was an injured soldier on her hospital ward. They were married by her uncle Reverend John Duffield, in St. Stephen s church in Twickenham, England. Bunny was model of her professionalism as a nurse, latterly at Oakville Trafalgar Hospital where she was eventually persuaded to retire in her 68th year. Bunny and John had a great love of family and friends and fun. Their dinner table was seldom empty, often entertaining a surprise guest by lifting a glass of good cheer.

She is survived by her sister Noreen and her brother Austen Cambon as well as her loving children Susan Fitzgerald (Michael), Judi Quail (Collin Bradley), Rev.
