Dearest Terry and Cathy,
While I am sadden of Dorothy's passing, I would like to celebrate her wonderful life on earth.
Now she has once again joined Walter.
I was privileged to have known both of them during their golden Senior Years. I recall a relentless passion for life. They were both active in Senior Olympics, Church functions and activities at The Senior Community Center.
IF I am ever reincarnated, I want to be one of their dogs with an indulged doggy life style.
Dorothy was a kind spirit and I feel honored to have known her. She lived her life as she wanted and to it's fullest. If only we all can be so giflted to journey down the path of life as gracefully as Dorothy chose.
