Janet and the whole family,
So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. What a sweet, kind woman! I will always remember her from my Remington Oaks Ct days visiting all of us...she was like a grandma to my kids! She was a doll! I know that she will be missed, but what a great person to say was in your life!

Dear Family of Dorothy,
We didn't know Dorothy but felt like we did because of how lovingly Bill talks about her every week when we drive to church. We are so sorry for your loss and know she will remain forever in your hearts as well as Bill's. He has truly lost his best friend and constant companion! Your family has been such a blessing to him and I know he was a blessing to your mother. Much love and prayers go out to all of you and we will do our best to support Bill during this sad...
