Mr. Speaker, as Mother's Day approaches, I and my colleague from Windsor—St. Clair would like to identify the selfless act of one mother to save the life of her unborn son. Susan Westmoreland, who served as a reporter in Windsor for what is now the New WI, lost her life to breast cancer last Monday.
Susan was diagnosed with cancer three months into her pregnancy and immediately began low level chemotherapy to prevent any harm coming to her unborn child. As the disease spread to her liver, she delayed her treatments even further and she gave birth to her son Myles.
On the job Susan always served with the highest degree of professionalism and, no matter the circumstances, always seemed to have a smile on her face. The sacrifice and bravery displayed by this mother will not be forgotten.
Susan is survived by her son Myles and her husband John Magidsohn. I would like them and all her friends and loved ones to know that she will be greatly missed.
