Neil Rawnsley To Peter, Paul and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your Mom. Although many years have passed since our teenage years I will always remember your Mom for her warmth, wit and sense of humour and how at home she made everyone feel when they came to your house on Byng.

Don and JoAnn Whitman To Paul and Peter and families,
Your Mother was a wonderful, patient and thoughtful Mum, who
had a great sense of humor.
It is that kind of woman who leaves her lasting impression with the sons she raised and their families.

Don & Vicky Gardner To Peter, Paul and family
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your mum. Many fond memories of stopping by the family house on Byng St for a visit while working on the “south side.” Could always count on being brought up to date on a family she was very proud of.

Stephanie and Eileen Greaves Please accept our condolences – Dorrie and Naomi were regulars at Athlone Gourmet Coffee, and often enjoyed their cappuccino’s while discussing their families and day to day activities. We will think of her often.

Barbara and Folkert de Jong To Peter and Paul Baines and family,
We are saddened to read about the death of your mother, Dorrie. Our condolances. You are in our thoughts during these trying times. We know how much you will miss her. We enjoyed having Dorrie as our neighbour and have missed her since. I remember the day like it was yesterday when I was working in one of the rooms downstairs when I saw out of the corner of my eys Dorrie running by the window along the drive-way like she was in the Olympics shortly followed by a man. Apparantly this unknown man had jumped over the back-fence while Dorrie was sitting down enjoying the sunshine. We never found out what this chap had been or was up to.
We wish you and yours all the best during this time and always.

My thoughts are with you, Paul and your families. I recall our days on Byng Street with fondness. It would be nice to hear from you.
Take care,
