It is so heartbreaking to lose one's mother. Miss Dorothy was a delightful, charming lady, and I will miss talking and helping her during her walks at Renaissance Gardens. She sat across from my mother in the dining room, and although my mother has dementia, she missed the pretty lady with the pearls.
My mother, Marie Daggs and I want to extend our sympathy to the Weir family. Your mother will be missed by many. May the Lord be with you and comfort you all during this sad time.
