Fred and Linette, We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We have a great memory of her the day we came to look at our house, and she was traveling around the neighborhood in her motorized wheelchair. She was so cheerful and welcoming, it gave us a great feeling about moving here. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you.

Dear Claire, Ann and David, I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. She was a great lady. I remember when we were all kids playing in fields between your house and uncle Bucks house and many nights of hide and seek. Some of my best childhood memories wee at Buck and Ruths. God bless you all sending big hugs.

I just can't believe you are really gone. I do see your work looking around my house and I sleep under your hands each night covered by your quilt. A long life for sure with tons of memories. Missing you.

So sorry for this family's loss. She was a good person and yes she was known as the "Madbury Gazette". There will never be another one like her. Glad my last memory of her was riding her scooter down to visit at the home of Mike Ross. I remember all the parties that we all had up at the end of Huckins Rd. May you rest in peace Dot.
