To Dorothy’s family: How fitting that you concluded with Dot and Eddie together again, together forever – God’s will/purpose is amazing. My earliest memory of Dorothy and Edward was in the early 1950’s with a winter visit around Christmas time at my parents’ home in Bulyea. The house was filled with music and laughter the entire visit. Approximately 50 years later, your mom and dad spent time at Dad’s home during the celebration of his 8oth birthday. Again, music and laughter. Penny and I picked up your mom and dad at Regina airport and found a glutten-free meal at Swiss Chalet. It was great renewing our friendship that day and the next several days at Bulyea. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

My thoughts are with you and your family Sue during this difficult time. Take care.
Mary Lou,Susan and John.
Me deepest sympathys and prayers are coming your way. I know the pain of losing parents and I can only imagine what it would be like to be in your shoes. I truly believe they are together and looking down on you and are so proud of the strength you all have shown. The most important task that God gives is to raise our children and your Mom did a wonderful job of raising you. Keep your memories close to your heart, and they will give you strength. Am sending my love and wish I was there to be a support for you. Love Melodie
Sue and family,
Know that we are thinking of you in this difficult time and that this time shall pass.
Sue & family. We are so sorry to hear of yet another loss in your family. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sue & Family,
The loss of both parents, within a week of each other, is so incredibly difficult to fathom. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you.
Once again Sue, we are thinking of you after your loss. May your family come together to mourn in peace and to remember…you are in our prayers.
Dorothy and Ed always put on great dinners and I always looked forward to Dorothy’s homemade chocolate chip cookies for desert. But before you were allowed a cookie, you had to have something healthy first, like a bowl of fruit salad. She genuinley wanted everyone to be well and healthy. I was very lucky as Dorothy would always give me a tin of my own cookies to take home.
She liked me to call her Mom and always made me feel welcome and a part of her family… Thanks Mom, I’ll miss you.
How wonderful that your Mom and Dad will be dancing together… and how this must be rocking your world even though you know (or will some day) that is perfect for all involved.
My thoughts and prayers and heart are with you all. Big hugs – Jannette
Sue, Pat, and Richard,
What are the chances of this happening? Truly stunning, but not surprising, given the love link between your parents. I’m sorry to see you go through this. You are such a strong woman, and I know you will inspire your family in the process. You certainly inspire me! Take care of yourself and we’ll talk when you get back.
You are all in my prayers.

Dorothy was a gentle and loving person. Our condolences go to her loved ones.
Dear Mary Lou,
I know that there are no words that could possibly be said to comfort you with the loss of your mother. I hope that during this time God gives you and your family a source of strength and peace to pull from this pain. I truly hope that your memories of the happier moments will help to ease your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Rafaat
Mary Lou, we again send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Losing a parent is very difficult, but to lose both father and mother within one week is so much for you to bear.
They are together again, forever.

Dear, dear Sue, Richard and Pat,
It was with great sadness that I received your e-mails upon my return to school. I cannot imagine how you are holding up, but know that the angels are supporting you. I wish you great strength and I know that the very special memories that you have of two very special and important people in your lives will sustain you. Take care and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. With love and sincerest sympathy,

Dear Sue & family-
Sending positive energy your way at this difficult time. Tasting your mother’s great baking is what I remember most about her visits here. See you soon.
John:
What a shock it was to hear about the loss of your Mother so soon after your Father. They say it can often happen that way and although it’s very hard on the family, your parents are together again. Our thoughts are with you at this time. May fond memories give you the strenght to go forward with your life as I’m sure your parents would wish you to. With deepest sympathy,
Marion and Carl Hearn
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I am praying for your family in this difficult time.
