So very sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing.
She was our oldest daughter Hayley’s “Secret Pal” at Zion for many years! Always an endless supply of hand crafted fridge magnets, some of which we still have!!! She even gave a Hayley a beautiful Bible, with a lovely written message at her High School Graduation! Such a sweet, thoughtful, and caring lady!

To all of her family,
I was blessed to be her neighbor 20 years ago when my husband and I lived on Dale Avenue. She always asked us if we needed anything from her garden or allowed us to borrow her clothes line. She taught me many things about her beautiful garden and flowers and always had a kind word. Her house always smelled delicious with her baking. Our street was a better place because both of your parents were so kind. Heaven is also very lucky to have received such a wonderful person. God bless you all during this time. Our deepest condolences to all of you. May memories keep her close to your heart.
Darlene
Thank you for your kind words and memories of our parents.

With heartfelt sympathy on the loss of wonderful and caring person. Aunty Della was a special lady I remember how good it made me feel when in the late 60s she made me a Christmas present even though she had a large family to look after and a lot of hard work to do. The gift was a set of pot holders , a pair of frogs made from patches. I still use them a lot and think of her kindness . Tim got to meet her and enjoyed visiting with her and hearing her stories. Tim and I also enjoyed all the baking she would serve when we dropped in. You always left with a full stomach and a warm hug. She will be truly missed. Tim and Rhonda
Darlene
Thank you Rhonda and Tim for your kind words and memories. ❤️
