Doff was a wonderful lady, loved by everyone. She was inspiring in the way she continued to learn new crafts throughout her life and was not defeated by her age. She was always happy and looked on the bright side of everything. She will be greatly missed.
Lots of Love
Lin, Mike and family xXx

Sister Dear you were a truly wonderful and remarkable person. Being the eldest you carried the mantle from Mum and Dad with John beside with such Grace Pride and Poise. Like our Parents you were always thinking of others and striving to make things better. Holding out a hand if we tripped or faltered as we travelled along the Highway of Life.Even in recent times wishing Peace for all.
You will always be remembered with much Love and always have a place in our Hearts forever. Until we all meet again keep smiling xxx
