Bill Moore NZ. “Phirry ” as she was called was a great pal to us cousins and remained so to me over the years. As the eldest cousin and only 7 miles apart, many pleasant memories remain of those young years and the times we visited in Canada.
Our sincerest condolences to her family

Cathi Tan May you all have many beautiful memories of Philippa. I remember when Philippa gave us heck for spending the morning in Butchart Gardens, instead of her garden – which she said was far superior. She certainly loved her garden. I will be thinking of you all on September 8th. I am sure it will be a lovely celebration.
Love to all,
Cathi Tan
Philippa’s cousin

Mary Kimpton I met Philippa just a couple of years ago at the Monterey Recreation Centre. We were bridge partners at the Wednesday morning bridge. Philippa was such a delight! She always brought cheer and good will to the bridge table. I shall miss her.
My sincere condolences to her family. She always regaled us with funny stories about family activities, especially Thursday dinners.

Anne Wilson I am so sorry to hear about Philippa. For many years I played golf with her at Olympic View Golf Course. She enjoyed her game and was very passionate about coming out and playing. For the last few years she was not able to golf, however I feel fortunate that I was able to visit her several times at her house. My deepest condolences to her family.
