My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Tomkin family, I”m so very honored to have had aunt Do in my life, When I was younger she was always there to talk or listen when Lori and I hung out ( and that was often). Aunt Do always had a smile on her face and fresh baked goods to share, I just loved going to her house. As I got older and had children of my own, she was the first person I told my kids about, they just had to meet her, she was the greatest person I knew.
I was very saddened to hear of her passing she was a great Lady very special, always happy and loved by everyone.
We will miss you always aunt Do, you will do Heaven proud.
My deepest condolences to Gord, John ,Debbie and Lori, love and hugs to you all.
Laurie, Lynn, Randy and John Mutton

We were saddened to hear of Nan’s passing much too soon. She will be remembered as not only a generous, loving soul, but a force to be reckoned with. May your tears be soon replaced with laughter over all the wonderful times you shared.
