A Saskatoon mother who created a bucket list after being diagnosed with terminal cancer two years ago has passed away.

The family of Colleen Burris said in a Facebook post that she passed away on May 20.

Burris was told in March 2017 that she had terminal cancer and had six months to live.

“We kind of had an inkling that this would come eventually, I just didn’t think it would come so soon,” Burris told Global News at the time.

“So it’s really hard, but you can’t live in those moments. You have to move past them and be happy for the rest of the time you do have.”

Jasmine Estrada thought nothing could make her second-guess naming her daughter after Daenerys Targaryen, aka “Khaleesi,” one of the main characters in the mega-hit HBO show Game of Thrones. Then she saw Sunday’s episode. “Oh my god,” Estrada said. “She lost her marbles.” The series’ penultimate episode featured Daenerys going from a justice-seeking yet flawed queen to a genocidal madwoman who burned down a city with innocent women and children trapped inside. Estrada’s 6-year-old daughter is called “Khalessi”—an idea from Estrada’s mother, who mispronounced the name, leading to the misspelling.

Burris created a Facebook page — 6 Months to Dream — to chronicle her journey.

“Just making memories with everyone to know that they’re going to remember me like that having fun, instead of remembering me just getting sick.”
