I used to live outside of Dauphin and used to play with Neil and Burke. Plus I remember going to their house on Wordsworth Way. I was so fascinated by the aquariums. Your mom was always nice. So sorry for your loss. Kathy - Posted by: Kathy Lintick Rawluk (Old friend of Neil and Burke) on: Apr 11, 2021

I was so sad to hear from my father, Harold, (Aunt Bette’s younger brother) of Aunt Bette’s passing. My condolences to cousins Eric, Neil, and Burke with their families. I was able to hear indirectly from Aunt Bette in 2012 through my husband and adult children David, his wife Tamara, and Mary who visited Aunt Bette after our son Jonathan’s wedding in Ontario on their way back to Vancouver. (I preceded them to their final destination ion of Tokyo.) They were very impressed with her gracious hospitality and kindness. I last spoke to Aunt Bette many years before that when she referred to our common faith in Jesus Christ. Aunt Bette has been and will remain a role model for me and now my children who could meet with her. - Posted by: Rhonda Somers-Harris (Niece) on: Aug 22, 2020

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your mother. It has been a very long time since we lived across the street from you (Wordsworth Way 1963-1966) but I have fond memories of being friends with Neil. Thinking of you at this sad time - Posted by: Joy (MacDonald) Marsh (Former neighbour ) on: Feb 25, 2020
