Dorothy was a classy Lady that I always thought how lucky Ralph was to have a wife like her in his life. She was a very strong remarkable woman. She had to be strong with the very active sons that she had. Wow what a lady. She will go on forever in their hearts and many others hearts, I'm sure. Say Hi to Ralph for us Dot. All our Love, Billie and Java XXOO

Mom it was a pleasure to be with you and love you all my life. Even though you were unable to walk and spent most of your final months in bed you never complained. Always enjoyed the gift of life and never gave up hope. When visiting you at The Wynfield your face lit up and a big smile came across your face each and every time I arrived. Your life's journey came to an end on April 7th with family at your side. To watch your Mother pass away in peace is something I will cherish forever. No pain just a single tear and a final gasp of air. She's walking now in Heaven. Hopefully she has found my Dad and is looking for a deck of cards. Settling down to a game of bridge with Fred and Marg Ross. Many thanks to my Auntie Thelma and Uncle Bernie for visiting me in a beautiful dream. I believe they were preparing me for my final visit with my dear Mom.

My Mother had a slender small body but a large heart. A heart so large that everybody's joys were found welcome in it, and hospitable accommodation.

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in the world,
Will be the same to you.
When others forsake you,
To your mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
Garry, Paul and Stuart
