Dagmar was always so positive. She always asked first "And how are your doing?" before anything else. She was my "adopted" Mom. We shared lots of good times with wonderful memories. We spent hours talking, out on errands, or having her favorite manhatten on the deck nice evenings.

The world would be a better place if everyone was like Dagmar. I love you.

Dagmar was such a special person. She was introduced to me by Reverend Karen to be my 'church buddy' when my daughter was baptized. She remained special to me and my family ever since. She was so sweet and full of love and light. I am so happy to have known her. She will be greatly missed. She certainly had a life well-lived!
