Condolences

I was very sorry to hear about my Aunt Dorothy's passing and even sadder that I cannot be there for the funeral today. In the past few years I lived close to my Aunt and would visit with her in her various homes she had in Mount Forest. I still remember the last time I spoke with her she was looking for Uncle Danny and so she called my house as he was at our house alot last summer. I remember most of all how she told me that she loved me as we ended the phone conversation and I told her that I loved her. I am very happy for the fact that I got to say that to her one last time.I remember when I was a child and we used to go over to her and Uncle Chris's house so mom and dad could visit and me and brother Jim would play in the basement with Andy and Chris. She will always hold a place in my heart and I will miss being able to hear her laugh which I think of now more than ever. I hope that everyone can remember Aunt Dorothy in the good days and that their memories of her are as fond as the ones that I have. Tanya and I hope that Andy and Chris and the rest of the family know that we are there in spirit. May she sleep with the Angles until we meet again. Love from George and Tanya

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Dorothy. I have not been in touch with her for many years but I did hear how she was through my sons Jim and George. She was a good person and I hope she is at peace. I'm sure her family was waiting for her with open arms. My deepest sympathy to the family. Barb Stacey

My dear sister Dorothy no words could ever describe how I feel about losing you. You leave me with very fond memories of us growing up and of the times in my life when you were there for me when I needed you the most. Life takes us all on a journey with no path to follow and sometimes we can get lost along the way. The one thing that always will be is that your family will always be your family no matter how lost you get. You were very brave in life and in death.Although I am saddened that you had to leave I know in my heart that you are in Gods hands now and that all your suffering has ended and you are now at peace. I will always love you deeply and I will cherish the good times we had in our life. I know you will always be watching over us and you will forever be in my heart. Your Sister Kathie
