Rhonda Ross says her late husband Garry was a teacher not only by profession, but in life as well.
"He taught us about life, taught us about love, about opportunities. Everything is an opportunity. There's gifts around us all over the place," she said.
The couple shared many experiences over more than 30 years of marriage, including at the end. They were both diagnosed with COVID-19 during Manitoba's deadly second wave of cases.
