My deepest symathy to Dorothy and her family. My husband and I enjoyed many good "once in a lifetime" trips with George & Dorothy. Our children grew up together and we all enjoyed their hospitality at the cabin. Memories like this is what makes the days and years ahead easier. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dorothy & Family,
All of you have given me some of my best memories--from babysitting "the kids" to being at the cabin during a tornado. You & Funer were always a hit on the dance floor.
You will always be on my FAVORITE cousins list. Love to you all.

Dear Dorothy and family,
I was greatly saddened to hear today that Funer pasted away. He was such a vibrant person and we will all miss him. I have great memories, like so many others, of weekends at the cabin and all your generosity. That was one of the happiest of my childhood memories. I was glad to call Funer my godfather. May he rest in peace and continue to watch over all of us. Please feel free to contact me. Love, Chris (Goodman) Burns

Many loving kisses to my Aunt Dorothy and her beautiful family. I love her more than she will ever know. I loved Uncle George so much and will never ever forget my childhood memories at the cabin and in so many other ways ... especially my last dance with him at Mikala's wedding last May. God Bless the entire Goodman family and take care of my "Dot". Love you, Patty

Funer is a special Father in Law, although he was set in his ways, he Loved his Family, and wanted to do what ever he could for them. I will miss him, and now he's in heaven with my son Jason.
