To the Ferguson family, the Otway-Bowyer clan and all who had the privilege to know her, (Aunt) Dolly was a woman whose friendliness, sense of humour and leg-slapping laughter filled a room and infected all around with joy! She personified the term “laugh out loud.” Now, and in the days to come, we join with all of her family and friends in grieving (Aunt) Dolly’s passing and celebrating her life. And in the months and years to come, we will honour her memory by trying to be a little kinder, a little more friendly to others, and at every chance, ... from our bellies and from our hearts, and with a slap of our legs... we will L.O.L! :-) We love you (Aunt) Dolly and we will miss you. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob and Brian, and their families, Karen, Kale and Kelsey who are still reeling from John's passing, Aunts Kay, Betty and Doris who have lost their big sister, and to all of our family as they gather on Friday. We wish we could be there. Please know that we are with you all in spirit. Much love, Janice, Joanne and Wendy Lavergne and families.
So sorry to hear of Dorothy's death - she was such a lovely lady, but was even more shocked by hearing of John's death - he had been part of our family for a very long time and was like a surrogate dad to my daughters - and he will be greatly missed as will Dorothy and her special laugh!!!! my sympathies to Bob, Brian, Karen and families at this very difficult time.
