Dexter was such a kind man to me through my youth. so sorry for your loss Sandra, Paul and family. Holly Ker.
Dear Sandra and family Im so sorry for your loss of Dexter. I have known Dexter for many years and his quiet friendly nature is something I will remember. He was always willing to engage in conversation and always spoke well of his family and others. May you each discover a deep peace and comfort knowing he is free from all discomfort and forever in the presence of his Lord. Selena
Cousin Dexter, I found you across the miles and you helped me greatly with understanding a little of my family. We never met and I regret that. I spoke with you only a few times and was impressed by your helpfulness, quiet dignity and good humour. I recall we both had fond memories and had a good laugh about our Auntie Alice. Rest in Peace.
