Sharon Colin Charlotte & Sasha Thinking of you all & remembering a wonderful lady who welcomed us into her family when we moved in next door nearly five years ago.
Your Mum was a very kind thoughtful Lady, very good with advise.
Our Dog Sasha will miss her chatting to her through the fence and the little treats she would cook for her as will we miss the lovely baked treats she would send round for us.
May she be at eternal peace looking down on us & guiding us until we can all meet again.
All our Love to her wonderful family who we love dearly.
Colin Sharon Charlotte & Sasha (woof)

Rosalie and Harvey Queen May you find comfort knowing that those who love the Lord, living His commands, will live forever in Him, even as their memories live forever in our hearts.
Ron and Alex,
My deepest sympathy to you both and to the rest of your family. I well remember meeting your Mother at Mass at St. Patrick’s a few years back. She was a dear woman whose smile I still remember. I pray you will find peace in knowing she is with God in Heaven.
Warmest regards,
Barbara Narver
