Dorothy:
I just read about your mother in the paper and I'm so sorry about her passing. I remember spending the night with your family while we were at the Academy and how nice she was. I retired and moved to Carlsbad. Please contact me if you are in the area. I will keep your mother and your family in my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss! We don't know you're family, but wish we did!

I always read the obituaries, my husband, George, could never figure out why...until I read your Mother's!

What a truly remarkable woman she was, a life filled with love and family! We would have loved being a part of a family reunion.

Have any of you thought about writing a book about your remarkable family?

Your family has a very special Angel in Heaven!!!
