Gary & Tom - Sympathy to you on the passing of your Mother. Remember spending lots of time at your house during my high school years riding horses & just hanging out. She was a "Classy" lady who I admired. Always at sports events cheering you on. May you find peace in knowing she's with her beloved Jesse.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of someone I've always referred to as "Mom". We had a special relationship that really never changed over the years...no matter what the circumstances or how often we saw each other. We will truly miss her and know she is with her beloved Jesse. Our condolences to all who were touched by this lady. We will miss you "Mom"!!

Gary, Tommy and Families,
My deepest of sympathy in the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. I remember going to her condo and doing landscape work. She always had so many positive words to say about my work. She passed on the same day as my Dad (6 years ago). My thoughts are with you.

Our deepest sympathy to you all. Your Mother was a very special, caring and generous person.
Our families go back many years and we are so sorry to hear of her passing. My Mother always looked forward to seeing Dorothy yearly as she took the Newman Girls to dinner "to catch up". Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our deepest condolences at this difficult time. My heart will forever have a smile as I remember the memories we shared , especially golfing at The Lyons Den in record breaking times. What a rich legacy she has left her family. God has welcomed a beloved mother and grandmother to his Kingdom.

Radabaugh Family:
Our deepest sympathy to all. ;Dottie was a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor. We shared many great times with her on the water, on her porch"clicking" to good times, memories shared with her and Jess, teaching her grandchildren to ski, visiting her in CA, and many dining experiences in MI. We will miss her immensely regardless of where we are. I guess we all left MI almost at the same time but to go to different places. Dottie you had a great journey filled with joy and times of sorrow but you always managed to move on in your own way.
