To Dorothy's family:
I was sad to read of Dorothy's passing.
I only knew her after she moved to the Gardens where my mother also lived. They became fast friends. Dorothy was such good company; so kind, soft-spoken and fun to be around. My twin sister and I used to stop in to see her even after Mother passed away because she was so appreciative of our visits. She was a delightful lady and my Mother was blessed to have had her as a friend.
My deepest sympathy,

I am Yvonne Huber Jorgensen. I believe your mom was my teacher in 3rd grade at Howe School in Wis. Rapids. I am 76 now. If indeed she was the Mrs. Gouchee I loved in 3rd grade, you can be very proud of her. I remember an unusual hairstyle she wore back then. May she rest in God' home.

Dear Gail and Fay,
My sincere sympathy in the loss of your dear mother. I remember your parents from years ago when they were friends of my parents, Frank and Alice Exner. You were both very small. My sister, Deb, is living in Eagle River and I live in Appleton. Again, our sympathies. You had wonderful parents. Love, Barb Exner Gile

I am sorry for your loss. I remember all the times we spent during our childhood. Especially the evening games at your house. Both of your parents were a delight.
