Lloyd and Gloria. Our deepest sympathy to you with the loss of your dear sister, Dolly. Dolly was a very special friend and cousin to our mother and a wonderful mentor to me when I sat on the Heritage Society’s executive as a ‘newbie’. I will always remember Dolly as the “Queen Mother” of Okanagan Falls. She will be greatly missed. Sheila, Bob and Betty.
