Diane and family. Diane I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. She was such a nice lady. She always had a couple of moments to stop and chat whenever I saw her when I was out walking with the kids. You and your family are in my thoughts at this time.

Condolence from Deborah Jones on December 16th, 2023 3:07 PM

Fond memories of my Aunt Edith. Looked forward to our visits when we were kids. She was always sweet and welcoming, naive in a good way and funny. A bit of a worry-wart and loved by all.
She never complained. ❤️
Now she’ll be with Keith again
as we as her sisters and brother in heaven. 🙏

I’m sure the last couple of weeks have been tough for both of you. I’m sure she is now in the loving arms of your Dad and having a celebration of love. The support you showed her was amazing and you can be proud and have no regrets. Cherish the great memories as she watches over both of you. Wishing you all the best through this difficult time.

To Jim, Dianne and family: Sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. We often stopped for a chat when we lived on High street. Later I visited her at the nursing home when our minister and I did the church service at the Home. By then she was blind but always enjoyed a chat. She was always cheerful and enjoyed a visit. Thinking of all her family at this sad time.

I visited Edith and Diedre for over 12 years with my St.John. Ambulance visiting dog “Buffy’.
Buffy always got a gentle pet on her nose and Edith would enjoy to touch her and Buffy loved her!
..so did I love her and admired her quietness sitting there….yes, she was to be admired for her bravery loosing her sight.
