Sam Crager Doris was a wonderful woman, and the world is much better for her having been in it. She was invariably thoughtful, sending me birthday greetings for many years as she was able. She was one of my mother’s favorite cousins, and we always enjoyed seeing her when in Victoria.
I will miss her kind and gentle presence here, but know we shall meet again someday!

Barry Wilhelm My prayers go out to each and every person whom shared their heart with Grandma Chesworth. She was one who touched us from the first introduction.
Myself and my family are thinking of Grandma and the rest of my family as she is laid to rest. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am comforted knowing that you are with Grandpa now and are in the kingdom of Heaven at the Lord’s table with the One you so faithfully served. I will miss your letters and kind words within them.
You were an anchor for so many and adored by even more. You were a guide and a friend. You were faithful to God and your family no matter what life brought. For all these reasons we will miss you.
Love Tanya, Dan, and Tessa (great grand daughter)
