I’m so sorry for your loss. I lived across the hall from Doris and enjoyed the lively conversations we had. I moved into the building on her birthday, so it has always stuck in my mind. I have missed her presence in the building, glad she is at peace with our Lord.

Our sympathies to the Edwards family on the passing of Doris; I remember her visits with my grandparents in Grand Bend, and seeing her in Exeter when she lived here. Doris and my dad (Bill Baird) were first cousins and I know they shared many great times together.
Our sincere condolences.
