Dear Diane,
I will always remember Dorothy's kind, loving, and gentle nature, and those wonderful cookies Don and I ate so many of. I simply can't imagine anyone having a better mother than Dorothy. I know she's with Dave and Don now, and that gives me peace.
With love and lasting memories,
Don Webster

Dear Diane,
Your mother will live forever in the hearts and memories of all who knew her. Despite her delicate, petite stature she displayed great courage, strength and wisdom in her life. She always addressed everyone with grace and class. You have much to be proud of, especially that you were raised by a wonderful, loving parent who passed on these attributes. God bless you during this time of grief.
With much love,
Diane and Arthur Moreno
