Not sure what to say?





I have fond memories of Miss Skinner (as I knew her) in school. She was always smiling and one of the most pleasant teachers I had the good fortune to have had. A beautiful soul has joined God's throng.

Charlie and Kathy,
May God bless you at the very difficult time. The devotion and love you had for Dorothy had to be very comforting to her. She was blessed by each of you, just as you were blessed with her life. Love always breaks through the barriers life gives us, even Alzheimer's. Please know you are in my prayers.
