Dottie Ann, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He was born one year before my father, who has been deceased since 1983. You and I were friends in school and I hope to see you at our next reunion--our 50th. Dianne Blaine Hardy

Dear Dorothy and Family,
The lovely funeral services were an appropriate tribute to your wonderful husband and father. It brought back fond memories of the years spent in Hanna where the two of you were geat neighbors, dear relatives and faithful servants of the Lord as you carried out your callings in the Ward. While the Ward building in Hanna still stands, it no longer serves as a church but the teachings you provided to us there, both spoken and by example, still linger in our hearts and help us be better people. Dorothy, your inspiring talk and the entire service today gave us another 'boost' in the right direction!
I know I express the feelings of the entire Nephi Moon family in sending our love and sympathy. May the Lord comfort and bless you at this special time.

Aunt Dorothy,
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Vern. The last brother---makes me so sad. But I can see all the brothers up in heaven telling their jokes and funny stories---what a fun reunion they will be having. You are a special family to me and I will always cherish the time I spent at your home hanging with Catherine!
The entire Elmer Moon family sends you our love!

It was great to meet you all. Your daughter, Rebecca, is very special to me as a great friend and sister in the gospel. You did a great job raising her and she loves her parents deeply. That says a lot about parents, whose children love and respect them. Rebecca loves the gospel and that too came from her parents; a love of the gospel. Families can and will be together forever and we have a loving Heavenly Father to thank for that:) My condolences to your family. It is hard to be on earth without our loved ones for a while. But know that you will be together soon!
Rebecca's friend,
Cynthia Long
