Aunt Dorothy, I will always remember you with love, joy and a pitcher of ice water pouring over Marsha and I as we tried to sleep in til noon as teenagers; instead you wanted us up. Definitely more startling than an alarm clock. Uncle Harry, Evelyn, Mike, Marsha and the entire family: you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and give you strength in the days to come.
