Just want to say I'm thinking of you this week as the anniversary of your mom's passing comes by. I know you must miss her very much as she was an exceptional woman. It's such a blessing to know she is with our Lord in heaven and that one day you will see her again. My love and prayers are with you.

I was not actually able to be around Dorothy very much, but she made quite a lasting impression on me. I loved her smile, her laugh, and her friendliness--joy shinning out of her heart. I'm so glad that all the family had her here for so long. God bless you all and comfort you during this very hard time.

I was not able to spend much time with you, but when I did, it was so special. I will miss our phone chats. I will miss your smile.
