Rosalyn Pyke, Florence Nova Scotia

November 16, 2009

Rosalyn is a Diabetes Champion. 

She gave diabetes a face that was not scary to her nephew (my son )Kyle Pyke. Putting her life on hold, she came as soon as he was diagnosed.  Rosalyn walked us through the ups and downs, and there seemed to be so many.  She gave Kyle knowledge and told him he would be fine because he is smart.  After her visits, he looked at his health and his attitude towards living his total devotion. 

Kyle plays hockey ,volleball, and he was reviewed by George Canyon at Cadets.  Rosalyn tells Kyle she is proud of him every visit. She is his hero.  Rosalyn has always been mine!  She is the most healthy, motivating mother, manager of a very busy resturant,volunteers to help seniors and even joined her first hockey team at 41 years old.  She called Kyle and he said he was proud she tried hockey…now they even have that in common.

She did not set out to be thanked,which is funny because we can’t find enough words to thank her. She gave us hope.

Love, her baby sister Nancy, and nephew Kyle Pyke.
