Anne Langille It’s a joy to imagine Dear Dorothy and Roy together again with our Lord. I treasure the privilege of driving her to and from “knitting group”….there were many shared memories and words of wisdom.
May all of you receive the Peace and Comfort of our Lord and Saviour.

Jo Thank you Dorothy for being so welcoming, kind and hospitable. One of my favourite childhood memories is staying with you and Roy, in the basement exploring Victoria. Returning years later in my late teens, you and Roy once again shared your Canadian love, spirit and kindness. Thank you for helping us to create great memories and to encourage us to explore and travel and see the world.

She was really special and am sure you have lots of great memories and lots of good times together,and will always be remembered with love and deep affection. I know I enjoyed getting to know her and I certainly had deep affection for her.
My love to you all; I have fond memories of your Mother from working at Taylor’s and from St. Matthias. You will miss her dearly.
