    Delma — so sorry to read of your dad’s passing. Both your mom and dad were great people and I have many happy Job’s Daughters memories. I was not aware Paddy had also passed away — my thoughts are with you and your family.

    Hi, Delma – I was sorry to read of your dad’s passing – I have such good memories of the times we spent visiting you and Paddy at your parents’ home when we were kids. My name was Dorothy Dutton then, and our dads served in the navy together. The last time I saw your dad was in London – I was living there, and we were all able to meet up for lunch. Just wanted to let you know that I’ll always remember your dad – a very, very fine man.

    We were sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He invited us for lunch and also came to our house in the last few years. He loved to tell us about his days at school at the same time as our parents. We enjoyed some pictures with tea. It was good to spend time with him.

    May your memories comfort you.
