Not sure what to say?

To the Milne Family and especially to Heather,

I was so genuinely saddened to hear about your Mother's death. Your Mom and Dad were our neighbours for a very long time. Pauline and I watched all of you grow up. In fact I think Scott and our son Douglas chummed around for a bit when they were both kids.

I remember your dad sitting in the yard and walking about with a long pipe in his mouth and Heather coming by to collect for some favourite charity.

But most...

To my wonderful aunt and matriarch of the Heather Family, the Ambrose family will miss you.

To Jon, Tracey, Fred, Scott, Susan, Heather
You are blessed to have shared your life with such a wonderful woman. We will remember her warmth and generosity and her remarkable memory for details. may you find solace in knowing she is no longer suffering and has gone on to a better place. Much love Sheila, Dale and the boys

Heather, Scott, Sue, Jon, Tracey - We were very sorry to hear about Dorothy - our thoughts are with you. .

So sad, even though we had been warned. Dorothy was a gracious, generous and warm-hearted woman.

I hang my head in shame remembering when, as an outspoken, brash teenager, I berated Jack for planning to marry such a small woman.

Jack looked at me in amazement and laughed. Good for...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My best memory of Dorothy is of the small crafts she was always making and giving to family members. My children have lovely little Christmas tree ornaments cross-stitched by Dorothy with their names on them. Her enthusiasm about family history was wonderful. She is a treasured part of our lives and she will be missed.
