Dear Rawding Family,
So sorry to hear you’ve lost your wonderful mother/grandmother. I didn’t see aunt Dottie very often through the years but I remember her from my childhood as always happy and smiling. She was always one of my mother’s (Anne Rawding Bent) favourite people.
God Bless you all on this very sorrowful period in your family.

Shelly Dreyer
My deepest sympathy to Dorothy’s family.
I knew Dorothy through Bud’s family and have wonderful memories of her warmth and generosity. Her niece and I use to often drop by unannounced but were always welcomed with open arms and always left with a full belly. Dorothy was the epitome of kindness.
I was blessed to know her.
With Love, Shelly Dreyer
Carl and Sheila Morden
Please accept our sincerest condolences upon the passing of Dorothy. We met Dorothy with Brenda and Harold several years ago when we were vacationing down east. We went to visit Dorothy in her home and she so graciously had coffee and cake ready for us. It was a wonderful visit. She was a kind sweet lady which I am sure will be sadly missed by all her family and friends and for all of those like us who only briefly met her.
Sincerely Carl and Sheila Morden, Wellington, Ontario
Donna & Bucky Norman
The Norman family think fondly of the days we lived downstairs and knew Dot well.She always had a smile and time to listen. Having lost my mother not long ago I realize the void in the family this will make.
May momories comfort you.
Memories keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought
and always in your heart,
today and forever.
I am so sorry we were unable to make the service for Dot. Bucky is in Denmark and I was unavailable on Wednesday.

Hi Dave and Theresa and Family.
Firstly, sorry to hear about your Mom passing Dave. Based on the slideshow… she looked like a hoot to be around! I especially enjoyed the group photos of her life and the excellent sense of community.
I wonder if she cheated at cards…
Respects,
Scottymac

I wish I had the pleasure of growing up knowing & being close to such a warm and loving, family oriented lady as I believe my Grandmother was. I will remember her voice over the phone & how much I enjoyed our conversation.
I wish I had a chance to get out to visit her and to let my son (her great Grandson) meet and hug her. I will make sure to tell Logan, when he’s older, what fine lady she was…..
My condolences to her close family & friends.
Lila McDougall
Hi Dan and Family

I would have liked to have been able to visit her, & have introduced to her Nathan and Kevin, her great-grandchildren.
We send our prayers now for you in this time of sorrow. She will be greatly missed!
Love Solomon, Lynn, Nathan & Kevin Rawding
