  1. Lynette, Karen, Tania and Pauline and families.
    My sincere condolences for the passing of your Mum. I have wonderful memories of her amazing sewing skills and the off cuts of some of the more special fabrics that she would kindly give me to make clothes for my Barbie dolls. A wonderful,kind and talented lady.

  2. Della was my 'neighbour' across the corridor in Room 30 Mercy Place. I was fascinated by my brief encounters with her and would love to buy Direct Debit one of the exquisite litte dolls she made. A friend all too briefly, Janice

    We were so sad to read of Della's passing. She has been such a part of my life, with Della & Peg (my Mum) doing their china painting together. Such a lovely lady.

  5. Condolences to all Dellas family and beyond. You were my Doll teacher since 1989 when I first met you. Everything you taught me I still do. We traded with items, I crocheted tiny doll cloths for tiny dolls and embroidery for you, the molds you gave me I will treasure. The many dollshows we went to. You were good to my children after I lost my hubby and son. I’ll treasure all you taught me all the visits and times were you showed me different ways to put tiny dolls together over a cuppa. Thank you for being a beautiful friend, teacher, and mentor. XX.
    LOVE Valerie Tanner and family. Xx
