Pat and John and family,
So sorry to hear about your Mom. We will always remember her by her bubbly personality. She was a great lady. It’s sad we haven’t kept in touch, but I guess our lives take turns that keep us from doing so. Hope all is well otherwise. We have you in our thoughts in your time of sorrow. She did live a good long life and now she is at peace.
Thinking of you

Pattie and family ; Sorry to hear your mother has passed away. I have many memories of out good times together . especially memories of our times together when we lived on Kingston St., Goderich. I will never forget the children finding a pop bottle and asking to go to Dorothy”s store to get candy. A pop bottle sure got a lot of candy in those days. There were many fun loving times whether it was in the strawberry patch, planning a baby shower or just being together. I know you will miss your mum very Much but your memories you and your family will have will last forever. Let us know when she will be brought to her final resting place and I would love to be there with you at that time Isabel

To Dorothy’s Family
What can I say. We have lost a wonderful Lady. I missed her joking around and giving us a ruff time in a jovial manner either at work, Legion or out for her walks with Mrs. Powell. She would always also tune John in once in awhile. John(Duckworth). John passed away 6 days before Dorothy. Now that they are together she can really tune him if necessary. Please except my thoughts & Deepest Sympathy.
