Auntie Do was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known. I’ll never forget her garden, her homemade pickles, her Christmas cookies or the loving warmth she always shared.

Dear Aunt Dorothy, you meant so much to my mum Margaret & wally, Susan & Linda. You were always so kind,. My mother told us the story of when you was at school & exceeded in needlework, & when my mum took needlework the teacher thought she was as good as you, my mum unfortunately cannot sew at all like myself, but Susan is an exceptional craftsperson, I miss you aunt Dorothy & bill, it saddens me to see the Clark children passing away, like your children, I miss my mum so so much, it tears me apart to this day. I send my love & condolences to Kenneth, Bob, Bernard, Barbara & Beverly all our love wally, sue & Linda xxx
