Sunday, June 7, 2026 will forever hold a special place in my heart. Not only did I share Naomi Ruth Lowinsky’s motherline concept as Guest Speaker at the Joyful Journey Tea, I awarded the very first Louise Jane Beckett Shifra Homes Scholarship in honour of the maternal grandmother I never met.
Shifra Homes Executive Director Nancy Romic (L) and Tina Powell award the Louise Jane Beckett Shifra Homes Scholarship to 2026 recipient Patricia Lamontagne!
If only Shifra Homes had been available to my grandmother. My motherline would have been loved, supported and strengthened.
Thank you Shifra Homes, Marjorie Steele and Nancy Romic for all the work you do to support young moms. Congratulations to Patricia Lamontagne! Best of luck in Nursing School!!!
