    To Murray, Mark and Judy: Sad to know of your sadness. Dorothy and I had a grandmother Aunt Annie Lydiatt and her brother from England my grandfather Frank Wood. My mother (Mary Wood)Manning took my sister Gail and I to visit Aunt Annie in a stecco house behind Gowing’s garage at Blyth..now a little long eating place. I always felt a connection with Dorothy as a distant cousin and she came here to the farm and we went over the few pictures we had. She hated heights and would never sit in the church balcony where I always sat (starting out with Steven, Richard and Lisa) and Stan in the choir. Love to you Mark and to you Judy and your families. Sincerely, June Johns

    I was very saddened to learn of Dorothy’s passing. I knew Dorothy when she worked at the Radiant Life Store in Clinton. She was a loving, caring woman who will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Murray and family.
