Cindy, Joe, Marie, Will & Families:
Our heartfelt prayers and sympathy are with each and every one of you. Dorothy was a wonderful person and she will be greatly missed by our family. May wonderful memories of your Mom help you through this time of grief.
We've had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful friend for more than
45 years. I'll miss visiting with Dorothy in my Mom's driveway on hot summer days. She always had a smile and laugh. I'll always remember her that way.
May God Bless and Comfort all of you.

Yes Aunt Doty will most surely be missed. Great person & always smiling. I just can recall many times when she has said to me or to others..." Do you want me to separate you?" in regard to some sort of friendly teasing or disagreement!
