Dear Dodo,
They say that there are angels walking among us here in our "life on Earth" and you were proof of that to me. From the moment Mike took me to your home to introduce us, your heart was opened to me in such a warm and loving way. Your cheerfulness was contagious and your love of your family and especially Jesse and Frankie always made me smile. I miss your funny e-mails already, but I will tell you that I feel your angelic presence around Mike always. I know you are in a better place and you will continue to joke and quip with the angels where you are resting now.
Thank you for opening your heart to me and welcoming me into the McMann Family so honestly and sincerely. We miss you, Dodo.
With love,
Linda ("the good one") :>)

Dear Terry, Maria & Michelle, all her cherished family members,
My deepest sympathies. Doris was a one of a kind, wonderful person who I was glad to have gotten to know in my lifetime- I will always hold on to the fond memories of her and her most unique personality. She always knew how to make me laugh and help put everything into perspective. She was amazing that way.
I miss her dearly, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand. Do, I will hold you in my heart and soul, until we meet again. I will always be "your little brother".
Love always, Michael.

Dear Terry, Michelle, Maria, Jesse and Frankie,

Do was a very special person, loving and beautiful inside and out. I am so thankful that I was fortunate enough to have her as my friend for all these years. Words cannot say or measure how sorely she will be missed.

She loved her family unconditionally. Be reminded that nothing can ever take away the beauty we have known. Love remains a part of us forever and the heart never forgets.

With love and prayers and special thoughts of you.
