Gordon and Susan Dawson Our sincere condolences to Jenny’s loving family.
She was a wonderful, caring mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
We have many happy memories of family celebrations at the Dobbie home, sharing lots of laughs with Jenny.
Nanny Dobbie had a quick wit and was always easy to kibitz with.
We will miss her lovely smile and easy manner, and cherish our times together over the past 40 years.
Our love and prayers to you all, may God bless you.
Gordon and Susan oxoxoxo

Pamela (Jones) Kenny Dear Gord, Pat and family
I want to express my sincerest sympathies. This is a difficult time I know, for all of you. We are almost never prepared for the loss of a loved one. The sadness and grief we experience is so great and we hang on to our memories to keep them with us. I hope that in time, the wonderful memories you shared will replace the sadness and grief with you today.

Sue (Leonard) Bourque Dear Dobbie Clan,
It is so hard to believe that Jenny has passed away. I saw her in the hallway at the Lodge no more than two weeks ago. And, as was Jenny’s way, her greeting was heartfelt and her eyes flashed with joy and good humour. She was always delightful, full of fun and mischief and genuine caring.
We will always be thankful to Jenny, and to you, for the love and support you gave Mom when she first arrived at Broadmead Lodge. They were quite the duo. We will cherish the memories of the “roomies”, which were, more often than not, a hoot.
Big hugs coming to you, on behalf of the Leonard “kids”, Sue Bourque

Darrell Latimer Gord, Pat and all
At times like this I am at a loss of the right words to say to consol you in your loss. All that I can say is that in time the sorrow will ease up and you will be left with many fond memories from the past.
I remember many great times from the past years when I was with you in your mom’s company. From stopping to have a few words with her at The Bay or spending some Saturday evenings as a group at the pub in the early ’70’s.
It was also great to have spent some time in Victoria over the past few years at your place when your Mom was with you.
Very few people get the opportunity to have a life long friendship like we have enjoyed and it is larglely due to the way our parents raised us that has made that possible.
Dear Gordon,Garry and family,
I was so sorry that I was unable to attend Jennie’s service today. I have known Jennie for over 50 years. She and I used to take the bus to and from work together — she always used to say “wait for your Granny” — so for all these years I still refered to her as “Granny”. You might remember my family , The Pye’s as we lived on Myrtle St. when you lived on Hillside. I was the big sister.
Jennie and I continued to send Christmas cards to each other until a few years ago. Jennie was such a neat lady and was very well liked by all The Bay Family.
I send my sincere sympathy to you all.
Sincerely Pat (Pye) Showers
