Katie Dear Joanne, Jacquie and family,
My heart goes out to you and I wish I could be at the service tomorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Aunt Dorothy will be greatly missed.
Love Katie
I just came upon this news and I am most saddened.
Dot was a joy and my heart goes out to her family.
Joyce and Ted were my parents and I grew up with the Smiths and the Newmans and the Nugents -and Sharon and David Naome and Val and Don Lyons—the list goes on and on.
I substituted in the bridge clubs and with the Mattick girls golfing.
Your whole extended family was wonderful.
Dot and Valerie and Carrie were kind enough to attend a tea for my mum a couple of years ago and I am so sorry that I was unable to show our respects to you.
I now give my my condolences and know that Dot is part of past and not forgotten.
Eileen
