First of all my condolences to Dulcies family. It was a privilege to know her,to sing our songs together, and to listen to her stories about No-Tuk. And one last thing. I’d like to make a bet upon seeing the angels up above she would have said, Holy Moley!

Our connection to Dulce and her family goes back to the early 1960s, when we lived next door in Polwarth St. My connection predating that back to Camperdown days. As young parents, Dulce was a source of encouragement and advice as our family life began. To put it simply, to know Dulce was to like her and to love her. We have continued to track one another’s lives until very recent times and when seeing her, her face would always light up and the storytelling began as we caught up on what had been transpiring in our lives since we last saw one another – laughter was never far away…
We remember her long life with gratitude amid times that knew deep grief and some hardship. Yet, never once did we hear her complain. She possessed a straightforward faith that all would turn out right in the end and for the better. We are very conscious of her family as they now mourn her being no longer physical present with them. We have been truly blessed to know her as a dear friend having journeyed these many years together and give thanks for all Dulce has been for so many, over so many years.
God’s speed Dulce. We will see you gain in that place where the stars go when they tumble like jewels from the sky…
