Donna and Joe,
It is hard to believe that Dorothy has been gone for two years. I am sure she is still sorely missed by all her friends and family. I, for one, am one of those friends as I enjoyed sharing many happy times with her. May her dear soul rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences go out to your entire family. We are sad to hear of Nan's passing but remember fondly how she was the center of your family for the 20 years that we have known you. We've met so many of her children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren and know she was part of the reason you are all such wonderful and kind people. We are sending our love to you all and know she will be dearly missed!
