She met my Dad in London in 1939 during the war where they were married. My sister Christine was born there in 1942.
Mom emigrated to Canada in 1945 as a "War Bride" to live in one of Grandfathers cabins behind his general store gas station in Langford.
As we were growing up we moved every 2 or 3 years as my Dad was transferred including 2 tours in Germany:
Then settled down in White Rock.
Definition of a Lady at 9am: Doris Baynes. Perfectly dressed, colour coordinated outfit, full makeup always wearing earrings and hair styled with an immaculate home.
Her day was planned and so was everyone else's.
She was a force to be reckoned with but under it all a real softy with a heart of gold.
She has all of my love forever Chris.
