Jeanette, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I've tried to find out your married name for years without any luck. We had such great times together as kids. I've also lost track of Rosalie Dennis. You were one of my most favorite friends. My married name is Carolyn Frey (Kromer). I'm on facebook. I'll try to connect with you once again. Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

My sincerest sympathies to the entire Klein family on the passing of Dorothy. I spent my childhood growing up on the Klein dairy farm. I will always remember Dorothy as a wonderful mother who treated me with kindness and affection. She will remain an important part of my childhood memories.
