Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Dear Phyllis, David, Garry, Charlotte & Dale, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom so suddenly, It is never easy to loose loved ones but just remember the memories she has left behind. I always remember her being just like a mom to me in my childhood years. She was always busy cooking, gardening etc. She taught me how to dance at the Gunton Hall or tell us from the bottom of the stairway to get to sleep and stop talking about boys. You knew she would be up early in the morning and hear that cream separator going. I had a chance to see her a couple of months ago in Stonewall and will cherish the embrace and chit chat we had. Sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Georgina Jones (niece) on: Dec 13, 2016

  • We will miss Aunty Dorothy's kindness and smile. She was always there. The kids will miss waving hello to her in the morning on the way to school while she was having coffee with her friends. She was one of the sweetest people we have ever had the pleasure to have known. She will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Scott & Lisa Taylor (family friend) on: Nov 09, 2016
