Guestbook

Extending loving sympathy to Isla's family. I am sorry that I am unable to be with you as you celebrate dear Isla's long life. Thankful to be able to partake via the online stream. Truly a "gracious" lady, always caring and concerned with a lovely sense of humor and beautiful smile. It was a blessing to have known her. She even excelled as an author in writing of the history of The Ewings at Totara. The family will all have special memories and she will be greatly missed, but we rejoice that she is now " With Christ, which is far better, " and can look forward with assurance that one day we will meet again. My family join in sending condolences. May the lord bless and comfort you. Stella Wade
