Ray and Janet Webb - November 8, 2022

Debbie, Terry and Shawn please accept our condolence, we are late as we only knew of your Mothers passing this morning. Many good memories from time past. We always heard from your mom about Christmas card time each year. She will be remembered for many nights of fun playing cards, as well our days at Cedardale Beach. She will be missed.

Gail Westbrook (Linton) - October 24, 2022

Dear Carol, Len and families. What a going concern Doreen was, I was sad to hear of her recent passing. Hard working and an incredible card player who patiently taught me how to play 45, a game that I remember my grandmother and her sisters playing. I have many memories of years gone by and hope that you cherish your memories to keep her close to your heart. She will be missed by those who loved her and knew her.
