Dorri the loss of a loved one leaves a pain in our hearts that is very hard to describe. As I read your mom’s bio what a full life she had. She was blessed with a large family and kept an active life.I know every one will have many happy memories to share of her. My prayers go out to you and the entire family. love

My deepest sympathy to the entire Tyler Family on the passing of Skip she was a very sweet person and will be deeply missed, I have found memories of going to her house on King street, I would stop in to see her and Mel when they were in ST Raphael’s Hospital and got to see her children then also. God Bless to the entire Family.
