Not sure what to say?

We will always remember how gracious Dottie was in opening up the cabin to us! The evenings of commaraderie, cards and spirits are some of the best times! She will always be remembered for her generosity!

We'll miss Grannie as we already missed Grandie. Just so glad our son Jack got to meet them. Only wish he'd been a bit older so he could have appreciated them more. Best regards to her sons and their families and my nephew and niece and their loved ones. God bless you all.

Bill and I, our daughter Becky and her family Mark, Miles & Genevieve send our love and support at this time to the Kessler extended family. We had many wonderful times on Craig's Creek with Dottie and with Harry when he was alive. My fondest memory is of sitting reading and sunbathing on the raft in the middle of the creek with my sister Lynne. Looking up, I saw Dottie rowing out to join us with 3 gin n' tonics on the rear seat of the row boat. We love you Dottie. You gave us all many...

To the Kessler and Simmons family,Thinking of you at this special time. I go way back. Met Dottie and Harry when my husband and he were roomates at Emory & Henry. Harry was also in our wedding in 1947, The last time I was with them was at that special party given on their 50th anniversary. Time changes so much,but our fun memories will always remain. You ae in my prayers.

Dear Harry and Tony, I shall miss seeing your Mom in all the Fincastle places and events. I have known her since she became my Science teacher (before her marriage to your Dad) in the old Fincastle high school, when I was a scared new-comer. I wonder if she ever got all the mercury cleaned off her engagement ring. She was kind to me then and never changed. She was a brave lady in her last days and I know the Lord has welcomed her home. May you feel His comfort in the coming days and weeks.

To Harry and Tony (and your families),

I counted your Mom as one of my best friends on earth as well as a kindred spirit upon Craig's Creek. One of the few people who truly revered and respected nature there(along with your Dad, Harry), I will miss her greatly especially when I spend time on the Creek and when thinking about it as I do daily.

She was always a wonderful and kind Lady who treated myself and all those around her with kindness, respect and gentility.

God...

Dear Kessler Family:
