I'm heartbroken. My memories of my mother's sister Dorrene always include her laugh, her kindness and her love. What cherished memories of New Year's Eve at her house with Uncle Karl, and the card games with my my parents and her mother, Grace, and , of course, my wonderful cousin, Karleen who was always so kind to me. I will be out of town next week and will be unable to attend her visitation and funeral, but to her family I say this: a wodnerful lady has passed and I will always remember her.

My tears and prayers are with the family during these days! Loosing your mom and grandma is hard no matter when it happens. She was just one of the sweetest ladies ever! She was like a mother to me when I really needed one! I can almost smell the fresh donuts she brought Karleen and I for breakfast all those mornings! And she was so funny scooping the loop with us! She always listened to my ramblings and she always made me feel better! She made this world a better place for me and I'm sure for you too! She will be missed and loved always! It makes me so sad that I can't be there with you and see her one last time! Love you Karleen and Natasha! Take care of each other and those babies!
