Aunt Dolores holds a special spot in our family, as she and Uncle Ray were the only attendants at my mom and dad’s wedding in May 1949. I, along with my 4 siblings, enjoyed many a visit at Aunt Dolores’ many homes over the years. It was a real treat when we could travel from the farm to their Homesteader Restaurant in Elmira! Aunt Dolores was so talented . . . her piano playing, her love of colour which came through in her home decor and flower gardens, and her eye for putting a great outfit together. She always looked great! Other cherished memories we have of Aunt Dolores is her presence at the yearly Reibling Picnics in Tavistock and the Reibling Christmas Dinners in Haysville. Her spontaneous laugh and smile were so contagious. We looked forward to her roasting pan full of the “best dressing” ever at each Christmas dinner.
Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Brenda, Janice, Kathy, Steven, and their families. With love, until we can hug again . . . Gary and Linda Bender.
