Dear Jim, John , David, and Brian, just the other day Anne asked about Mrs Doody (as she does on a regular basis), it was then I found out about her passing. Extending my sincere sympathy and sadness of your loss, our family has spent so many years living just down the street from the "Dood's" . I will always remember the story about a Church event, and the question was asked to your father what he admired most about your mother, his answer was that she was a gourmet cook... Hope the happy memories will give you reasons to laugh, I know Mr and Mrs Doody are laughing together again.

Our condolences to : Jim, John, David, Brian and families in loving memory of Toni . When Toni and her sister Peggy came to Halifax they moved into the newly built apartments on Pepperell St. close to Camp Hill Hospital . I remember taking friends there to show off the parquet floors and neat apartment. Toni got a great kick out of that. During the early years Toni and Myles and sometimes all the boys would come to Preston St. for a visit then later just Toni and Myles to Cambridge St. on Saturday nights for bridge or a Sunday for fish and chips. Toni and Myles shared a love for going to daily mass and could be seen , like clockwork, hand in hand at 8:25 am crossing Chebucto Rd . toward their home on MacDonald St. We would always beep, wave or yell out the window and receive a reverent nod . Toni always loved hearing memories of her parents Lexina and Evans then smile softly and whisper yes like she was seeing them at that moment. In our hearts forever Val and Doug (Jr.) Laffrin

During the 60's we had Myles and Toni as next door neighbours, so much so we shared a driveway on McDonald St. in Halifax. We could not have asked for better neighbours. We visited with them a couple of times after we moved south of the border. We send our condolences to their family and may they both Rest in Peace. Sincerely; Ernie and Donna Coolen

To the Doody and Carroll families, Please accept our deepest condolences on Toni’s passing. She was a lovely and vivacious woman to whom, as you well know, family meant everything. Your mom and dad made a great couple and were great parents who were very proud of their boys. We were frequent Friday night visitors to your grandparents’ Glace Bay home and remember it as a special place, particularly for our father, who thought the world of Lexina and Evans. We hope your happy memories will give you comfort during these difficult times. Sincerely, Maureen and Linda Laffin (Mike and Doris’ daughters).
