Dawn Peddigrew
Dear Mary, Simone and John,
I found out just yesterday that your mom recently passed away. I’ve just finished looking at the video tribute and wondered, as I often do these days, where all the years have gone. Our time on Florizel Place seems so long ago, yet I remember it as if it was yeserday. I have such fond memories of your mom, most especially of her kind, placid spirit. We still have the christening shawl she lovingly knit for us when Jim and I were expecting our first child. Both our boys, as well as our nieces, nephews, grand-niece and grand-nephew, have been christened while wrapped in it. (Please God, someday we’ll have a grandchild who will be christened by wrapped in it.)
Jim joins me in offering heartfelt condolences to you and your families. May your mom’s gentle soul rest in peace.
God bless.
