    Dear Anne, Richard & family
    Our deepest sympathy and warmest wishes on the passing of dear Edna. We cherish many great memories of early days when we met Eric & Edna as our friendly new neighbors. We visited often and enjoyed many family get togethers. We were very fortunate to keep in touch as the years passed. Edna’s 90th birthday celebration at your lovely home will always be remembered. It was always a pleasure to meet Edna in Sidney and marvelled how well and great she looked. She never missed sending us a Xmas card each year. Visiting Edna and enjoying a cup of tea was delightful!! She was truly a wonderful and beautiful friend. She will be greatly missed but always remembered by her special spirit shown to all.
    Our loving thoughts are with you and your family.
    Love & blessings Elaine, Bob & family

    Dear Richard, Anne and Family
    What a lovely picture of Edna! Though I have not seen the Bowles family members for many years, I did often see Edna from time to time in Sidney. We always took the time to chat. Edna has always been held in high esteem by my family and me, being the gracious, lovely lady that she was. I am remembering happy family gatherings gone by and thinking of you at this time. Sending my heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I’m sure my sister, Barbara, sends her love to all of you from Fiji.

    Dear Anne and Richard,
    I will miss my visits in Sidney, with your wonderful mom. She has been such a friend to my mom, Gloria, and my dad, Harry, through Rotary and golf and ceramics. I continued to see her each time I was in Sidney over the years and always was offered a cup of tea and a view of the family photos. My dad said she was such a lady. She was.

    She spoke often of her whole family and especially, you, Richard. What love she had for all of you.

    Heather (Tobin) Cooper, Qualicum Beach, B.C.
