Elizabeth Pearce wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences to her family and especially to her brother John and sister-in-law-Heather McCowan. I will always be grateful to John and Heather for taking me to see Isobel before she became ill. She reminded me of her mother. So soft spoken, proud of what she had made and what others had done for her. She isn't suffering anymore and has earned eternal rest. Cousin Elizabeth”
