Debbie,
I did not know that Dorothy had passed away until last week. You are in my thoughts and prayers. She was truly a wonderful woman and a fantastic mother and grandmother. She always talked about her granddaughters!!! I know it is supposed to get easier day by day, but I know you were her constant as I was my mothers and missing that along with all the little wonderful things daily is not as easy. You can find comfort in knowing that she will always live through you and your daughters.

Deborah and Steven,
We are sorry about the loss of your mother. It was our joy and pleasure to meet you, your mother and dad, in Athens when we purchased your home there on Caldwell Street. We were happy those 26 years living there but moved to VA in 1998 to be with Christie and her husband. We now have two grandsons and it was special to read that you have two daughters.
Your mother will be missed by the many friends and family but especially by you and your children.
We join with all the others in sending our sympathy to you during this time of sorrow. May you have peace and comfort.
With love,
Dennis and Marieda Craghead
Tim and Christie Riles
