    Mrs Appleby was always the gentle lady I have known for over 35 years. Always considerate, gracious and yet humble. For having known such person’s as Bert and Zelda, restored my faith in humanity. The world is the poorer for their passing.
    Our sincere condolences, gratitude and prayers are for John, Bill and Dave at this time. Your mother was dear to us and always asked “How is Mom”
    Dr Tom and Eleanor
