I have some fond memories of Dilys. Her sense of humor was so much a part of her.
I cherish the memories of my favourite summer holidays, spent with Aunt Dilys and Uncle Frank, at the Lakehouse.
We also fondly remember our summer visits to Kelowna as adults.
Our sincere condolences to Frank. She will be missed.
Thinking of you Frank,– at this very sad time. Our Love, with special memories of Dilys,
Cliff and Betty Dick
So many happy memories come to mind. Dil was more than an aunt to me. We could talk about anything, and I cherish the special relationship we had. Even while I was living in England she stayed in touch on a regular basis. She was always encouraging, interested and supportive. Frank we are sorry you have lost your wife and best friend and are here to support you in any way we can. Love Cheryl and Barry
Frank, My thoughts are with you. Dilys was a wonderful lady and I remember her well. Take care my friend.
