To the family of "Dory" our deepest sympathy goes out to you all on the loss of a great mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. I know my daughter Leigh-Ann will miss the lovely chats she had with your mom in the retirement home. I only knew you briefly through my mother-in-law Margaret who was in the hospital with your mom but I could tell your mom had a loving,caring and devoted family.
On behalf on the late Margaret Ventress and her family our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We just had a call from Lorraine out east telling us that Dorri passed away, and we wanted to extend our condolences to you all...and your family on the passing of your Mom. We would have a lovely time talking shortly with your Mom at Traditions, when we went to visit our friends there. She was ever so much like Lorraine..who was our neighbour on Beatrice before moving east. I'm sure you will all miss her greatly, but her suffering is over. Bless you all as you adjust your lives knowing she is no longer with you. Its difficult to lose anyone..and especially at Christmas, and especially when its a Mom or a sister. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Dorilla, I sure know what it is like to lose a mother. But as time passes you remember all the beautiful things she taught you, treasure the things she gave to you, but most of all the memories that you cherish. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers
