My heart is so sad with the passing of Mrs. Stewart!! She always made me smile and laugh while sitting in my waiting room at Dr. McLeod’s office. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. She was one of a kind and I will miss her very much.
Dear Jim, Brian, Susu I am so saddened to hear of the Passing of Doreen – wife and mother. She was an amazing women and full of the vigours of life. I will never forget her and the life she led as an enthusiastic ballet mom… a second mom to me.Doreens needlepoint creativity was inspirational.A women with a great sense of humour and decorum.
Dear Jim, Brian, SuSu and families, Bob and Sara. We are thinking of all of you and hope that the many many humorous and loving stories of Dodes are being shared with each other. I’ll never forget the time I stayed for a week on Bluebird Road and Carole King played Sweet Seasons in the background all week it long – and it certainly was. I loved Dodes’ view of the world, her incredible sense of hmuour and her lovely laugh. I think she wrote the book on being a fun mom. Her home was welcoming and colourful, her heart was loving and her spirit so strong. Love to all of you. Brenda and Bob

So sorry to learn today that Doreen passed away, I have many wonderful,laughable memories of Jim and Doreen at our times in Gyro and afterwards in Kelowna before I moved to Vancouver. It always was so nice to return to Kelowna and see their smiling faces and hear their laughter. She will be deeply missed and my sympathy goes to her loving family.

I treasure the times I had in your home , my memories of Doreen in your house up on Gulley.Thinking of you all. Love Kirsten Vinge
