Dorothy B Crombie

Janet - We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. We're sending you our thoughts and prayers.

Janet, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Janet and Rob,
I will always remember you Mom as my first Vacation Bible School teacher at First Pres. She taught us Onward Christian Soldiers, and she was very kind! It was wonderful what she did for the Rialto and Joliet - a very inspiring lady. I'm sorry for your loss, but also join you in celebrating her life.

I not only knew Dorothy through our association in the Will County Home Ec. Assn. but also by way of the Herald News. I am a retiree from there, in the advertising department.

Wow, my Aunt Dorothy was everything I always wanted to be when I grew up. She was the most amazing Crombie woman (in my opinion) to grace the face of the earth. You will be dearly missed, and I will always have your dear letters closeby me.. I love you Aunt Dorothy.. Your great niece, Cindee Crombie

Much of the original information your...
