My thoughts are with you Wendy and family, so sorry for you loss. You are fortunate to have had your mum with you for all these years. Thank you Doreen for the wedding dress you made me 44 years ago. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Deepest sympathy for Doreen's family. I was fortunate to know Doreen through my work. She (and Fred) were very generous in supplying us with avocados for which we were extremely grateful.

RIP in peace Doreen.
