Dear Cousins,
Dorothy was so much fun and so kind to us when we would visit Rochester back in the 50's & 60's. We have a few nice photos of her from your summer picnic a few years ago, which we will cherish.
Thinking of all of you and sending our sympathy and prayers. With love,
Cindi & John Hagerman
