Dear Red, Tommy and Gina
Nonie was my friend for such a long time and my Matron of Honour. All those years of dancing together, spending hours over coffee or the beach or even at THE SPA! I can’t believe we’ll never laugh or talk together again. Hopefully time will heal the hole in your hearts just a little.
Nonie was such a good example of living life every moment!.
Even though Sooke seemed so far and we didn’t get together often, I will miss her tons!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Sherry and Tom

Dear Red and family,
We were so saddened to hear of Noni’s passing. It was so shocking, I still can’t get over it. She will be so missed. I feel I was just getting to know a cousin, that I hadn’t had the priviledge of really knowing, till just about 3 years ago. Red I hope that you will stay in touch with our family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Take care, love Lana & Reg

Dear Ollie and family:
We were so sorry to hear of Noni’s passing and wanted you to know that we are thinking of you. We have fond memories of the fun we had at Cloverdale Xmas parties and Ron remembers how wonderful she was when he did dentistry at the office she worked at. I’m sorry we will not be able to attend her celebration on friday as we are out of the country but please know our thoughts are with you.
Sincerely. Cindy and Ron Parfitt
Dear Ollie,I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Nonie was so cheerful, friendly, and so much fun to be around and I know she will be missed very much. Sincerely, Sylvia Gledhill
Dear Ollie,
My sympathies to you and your family. Nonie was a bright light during the yearly Cloverdale Staff parties. She always made me feel comfortable and we were able to share many laughs. You and Nonie were on the top of Alan’s good mates’ list.
To the Goldsmith family;
It has been many years since I worked at RJH, Nonie was in the Staffing Office at RJH and it was her cheerful greeting on the telephone as she asked whether I would be available for a Shift.
Bryan and I offer our sincere sympathy in the loss of your loved one. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care, Bryan and Robin Mee
