Not sure what to say?

Dorothy was such a wonderful person......warm, caring, active and with a lovely, wicked sense of humor. Peace be with you Dorothy.

Dorothy was such a lovely lady and a good friend. When Bob was hired to be our pastor in Napoleon, OH, we would kid him by saying "We hired you just to get Dorothy" Of course, we loved Bob also. So sorry for the loss to your whole family.

Dorothy was such a graceful presence in our lives at First Pres in Saline. What a sweet person to know. I will miss her.

Bob, Sandi and I are so sad to hear of Dorothy's passing. We missed getting together for dinner at Ruby Tuesday. We are back in Florida, having you and the family in our prayers.

Dorothy was such a special lady. We would attend Adult Forum together at First Pres in Saline. She had the greatest dry sense of humor. I have missed her so much. She was a great friend to my mother, Gerry Uphaus. All my love to your family and Bob. Terrie Eroh

Deepest sympathy Dorothy will be missed greatly. May her loved ones rely on God for strength and comfort in this time of difficulty.

Dorothy was a beautiful woman both within and without. She blessed her many friends at First Pres. Saline (along with Bob). Her beautiful smile and always a kind word are remembered.
