My deepest sympathy to Bud and his family, Dorothy was a very special lady and I always loved to see her here at the Village. She never failed to help brighten my day by giving me one of her special smiles and hugs. God Bless All of You during this time and always.

Life is dear and precious, and loss so deep and profound. Dorothy's passing at the Christmas season brings to mind the several times our families have celebrated the holiday in Wisconsin and Colorado. Dorothy had the uncanny ability to seek out Christmas gifts aptly suited to those recipients of her thoughtfulness. May the God of comfort reach out his great arms of love to Budd and his family.
