Six months ago, in the dead of a winter which blanketed Corner Brook with six-and-eight foot snowdrifts, and on the tail end of receiving chemotherapy treatments for her cancer, Yvonne Jones tried twice to make it to Humber West to hit the campaign trail.
The first time, on the advice of her doctor, she canceled her trip.
The second time, in spite of advice from her doctor, she came anyway.
That’s really all you need to know about Yvonne’s dedication to the party she led, the people around her, and the province she loves. It speaks volumes about her own determination and spunk.
If there is any silver lining in her announcement of yesterday, it’s that she’s running again in her own district.
We’ll need her.
