Condolances to the family - I worked with Dit at Seaview Manor - seems like many moons ago but I kept in touch with her - she was a great worker, had an awesome sense of humor and attitude - I know she missed her best friend Jake after he passed away - well now Dit I know there are 2 angels smiling right now - her family and friends loved her and they will miss her but hope they get comfort in the fact that she lived a good and full life. I am going to miss you, although we did not see one another alot lately but the times we did were filled with laughter. Rest in peace my dear friend.
