A month after Sandra Cairns became a victim of COVID-19 at the Lynn Valley Care Centre, her family remains haunted by her final days. “We couldn’t go there.

We couldn’t hold her hand. We couldn’t tell her we loved her,” said Anita Coueffin-Cairns, holding back tears. Cairns’ daughter-in-law said she called the centre repeatedly trying to get an update on the 80-year-old’s condition.
