BARB DRUMMOND

Literary Titan Book Award, International Impact Book Award, Amazon Best Seller

 

The initial obituary that Barb Drummond wrote at the time of her mother’s passing was meant to honour the vibrant, lively, oh-so-funny and witty Sybil Hicks, her cherished mom who had Alzheimer’s for almost two decades.  The obit ran in the Hamilton Spectator newspaper and went viral, world-wide within a 24-hour time period.

The demand to know more from the legions of fans who read Sybil’s obituaty as penned by Barb, inspired her to write her award-winning book, “I Finally Have The Smoking Hot Body I Have Always Wanted…Having Been Cremated.”

This poignant, hilarious, and award-winning memoir is both a must-read for anyone who has family or friends coping with Alzheimer’s, as well as a must-attend event so you too can join the conversation as Cece chats with Barb.
