We were so saddened to learn of the passing of our dear cousin Julia. We always looked forward to visits with her in Sussex every trip home to Sussex from Ontario. It was always a joy to pick her up to go to lunch & then usually an adventure trip to some new place i'd never been...but which brought back great memories for "Dewie" & "Dyie" , the coysin's stories are the stuff of great legends. Dyie is sure going to miss Dewie. (They couldn't pronounce each other's names as babies cousins, who were very close...living next door to each other & were great playmates. As a very small baby of about 2, Dyie remembers that Dewie saved his life. He was in a carriage outside in the sunshine...mom got called away for a brief moment...some neighbour kuds thought the baby looked hungry & gave him mudpie to eat...Dewie, age 3, quickly ran to her mother, Aunt Sadie, saying the baby is choking...the 2 mother's together were able to revive the baby. A yr or so later...the 2 were left with a babysitter & were promised ice cream from the mom's...an argument ensuded. Dewie said "my mommy's bringing me back "i-cream" while Dyie insisted "my mommy said aspeam...thus as great discussion induced. I, Deborah, can't even tell you how many times the two have shared these stories & more...and laughed & laughed! We're sure going to miss our dear cousin. (With current Pneumonia & a back injury...Gordon IS so sorry that travel at this time would be impossible.) Our prayers are with all the friends & lived ones.
