Uncle David, Duane, Donna and families,

I was terribly saddened to hear of Aunt Dorothy's passing. In my entire life I can never remember a cross word. She was so kind in word and deed to me so I am certain this loss is unimaginable for all of you. I will be thinking of all of you in the days ahead as you proceed without her gentle voice.
