“A Mother’s Love
A mother’s love is like a tower rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine breaking through a threatening crowd.
A mother’s love is like a beacon burning bright with faith and prayer,
And through the changing scenes of life we find a haven there”

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Dot. I knew her from when she was at the Glenbrook Lodge. She was a very kind hearted lady. I kept in Contact with her after she left the Glenbrook to go home with her loving daughter 💕 I remember that she loved butterflies, so now she is flying around with the butterflies up in heaven 💞
Heather,
I’m so sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing. Dot was such a wonderful friend to my Mom, and a complete delight every time I spoke with her. Her sense of humor and caring nature will be remembered. I’m sure she is reunited with your Dad. I can’t help but think your Mom and my Mom are together again talking up a storm, and laughing. We will be thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
With Love,
Dominic, Stephanie and Family
Heather, we are all so very sorry about Aunt Dot’s passing. She was a very special aunt and it was always good to go to her house when we went to St.johns. always a few laughs and lots of good talks. Memories that i’ll cherish. My prayer for you is that you will find the strength to get through the hard days ahead. You were a wonderful, caring daughter and i’m so glad she had you by her side throughout the years. Take care dear cousin ,xoxo, Sheila
Heather, there are no words to make you feel better at this time but know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom was a very special aunt to me and a lot of our cousins. She was a gentle soul and so much fun to be around and whom I shared many good times with while I lived with her down on Brazil St. many years ago. A void no doubt you will feel in the next while but with time and family support you will get thought this storm. With lots of love and hugs, Louise
