Carl and Delbert , I extend my condolences in the passing of your Mother . I remember her from my childhood days of Langside . She was a lovely kind Lady. What a beautiful picture of her that is in this obituary. My thoughts are with you both. It was nice the other day Delbert to see you in Wingham and you told me you were on way home from visiting your Mother.

Deepest sympathy to the Dore Family. I have many happy memories of visiting Opal at her house and also at the annual pig roast. She loved to paint, sew, cook, and share with family and friends. I will miss her.
