Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateSYDNEY, N.S. — Joanne Frost smiles with tears in her eyes as she watches the video of her oldest son performing the title song to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Frost had stopped into the store before heading back to the hospital to see Frenette, whose cancer diagnosis was known to store employees and owners. The manager praised Frenette for always treating people equally and told her how her son would talk to people with developmental and other disabilities the same as he would his bosses.

Nicholas Frenette's Riverview High School graduation photo on display at his mother's Sydney home. On Aug. 27, 2014, Frenette died after a four-month battle with non-Hodgkin's T-cell lymphoma. NICOLE SULLIVAN/CAPE BRETON POST - Nicole SullivanFrenette worked as a metal fabricator and was living in Halifax when his visit home caused Frost concern.

Multiple tests were done over the rest of the month at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital but a doctor was able to make a diagnosis. Frost thinks it was the first week of June that Frenette was transferred to the Victoria General Hospital and admitted to the hematology floor. "You couldn’t imagine the suffering that went along with that," she said."I stayed by his side pretty much constantly. I was there every day except a couple of times I came home overnight to do something at the house because it was up for sale."
