Galton, Brigitte Ingrid (Witt); passed away peacefully at her home in Acton on Dec. 20, 2007 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. Her daughter Deanna, her husband of 40 years, Patrick, granddaughters Amelia, Gabriela and Antonia, close friend Petra Keck and Deanna’s partner, Frank, were at her side to say farewell with love and sadness as she passed this stage of her struggle. Oma’s strength and dignity in living, in striving to live, in helping others to enjoy life, and at last letting go of these earthly things, will remain in our hearts and minds forever. She will be greatly missed by those whose lives she so deeply touched. We are all very grateful for the support of friends, the CCAC staff, the nurses, doctors and Home Care workers whose compassion and commitment greatly eased Brigitte’s and her family’s journey. We will remember them. Brigitte was predeceased by her brother, Helmut, and is survived by her mother, Ilse Bude, of Berlin, Germany.
