DOON GUILD:-
It is with deep regret that Margaret Anderson wishes to announce the death of Teresa Kelly who was a loyal and committed member of Doon Guild.  Teresa served as President and Secretary of the Association in Doon and when the guild was renewed six years ago she was at hand with much appreciated advice to guide the guild in the right direction. Margaret also tells us that her interesting company and pleasant disposition will be greatly missed not only by the ICA but the community of Doon. Sincere sympathy is conveyed to her daughter, Nora, sons, John and Christy and her extended family and friends.
