Sending condolences on behalf of the Torrie family. As a girl, she was a friend of our parents' from Orangeville days, and it was a thrill for them when circumstances brought them all together again in Cobourg in the 1960's.
Cathy and family, I am sad to hear of the loss of your mother. I hope you will cherish the many fond memories developed over the years. I hope to attend the visitation, once announced and get the opportunity to meet up with you.

Very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.
Sorry for you loss
Cathy, Bob and Jim - Your mother was such a lovely person. She always had a smile and kind word. I am very sorry for your loss.
Sincere condolences to Catherine, Bob and Jim and their respective families on the loss of your mother Doreen. She was greatly respected by all that had the privelege of knowing her and was very supportive of her late husband George in his building (from the ground up) of an Engineering Consulting business that was rated in the top ten provincially. They were a team. Doreen was a gracious lady.Blessings,Don Bourne and family
