The time has come to say goodbye to another sister, the sister who for years I did not know she was my sister. As a small child I was confused. Is she my cousin, my aunt? After all she lived at Grandma’s house. Then she moved far away to Whitbourne. I remember Doreen visiting our house with her children Jean, Wayne and Marilyn who became playmates for Jean, Elick and myself. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this beautiful lovely young woman was actually my sister.
As adults we each led our separate busy lives but she always held a special place in my heart. I really enjoyed her phone calls, Messenger visits and Facebook photos and texts.
Doreen, I am so happy to call you sister.
You have so many loved ones in heaven, I know you are surrounded with love.
To your precious children and grandchildren I send my condolences and love. May God bless them at this difficult time, Josie
