Dorothy, Six months have already passed... My heart aches for Jim and your family, but most of all for you, Dorth. I wish we could turn back time and we could visit just one more time. I want you to know that I will always cherish and remember all the fun things we did together, and all the fun we had doing them. I love you always and you are tucked in a special place in my heart and in my memories.

My condolences to Jim and Dorothy's entire family. Dorothy was a very special person, I remember the few trips we made down to Flordia with Dorothy we always had a great time.
Dorothy was there for my sister Cynthia and our family after the passing of our younger sister Linda 16 years ago .We know what its like to loose a sister, you never do get over it. I have know Dorothy since I was a little girl. She was my sister Cynthia's best friend for more years then I can count. I know my...

Bob, Kevin, Brian and I continue to think about Dorothy daily and cannot come to terms with what has happened. Dorothy's birthday this past Wednesday was a particularly difficult day for all of us. Bob called Jim Wednesday night and Jim continues to be inconsolable. We think about the Khoshaba family and the magnitude and pain of their loss. Dorothy was so much the center of her family. I knew Dorothy for 25+ years; she was a sister to me (the sister I had so much in common with). We shared...

Today is the Birthday of my best friend and loving sister Dorothy. Never would I have believed that I would be writing about my memories of her in this book. As small children, she was my pain-in-the-neck kid sister, but as we grew to adulthood, she became my cherished confidant. Dorothy gave of herself unselfishly, even when she was sick, and very often made light of her illness. She was a very special person. Our family is a very close one and though my Mother is the heart, Dorothy was the...

Dorothy was my friend as well as my sister. Over the past couple of years, we would take two trips a year to Las Vegas, to see our mom, and to visit with each other. I recall laughing as we searched for the best talking stuffed animal to give my mom, so we could out do the one my younger sister gave to her. Sibling rivalry never ends!! She would have so much fun teasing me because she said, I was the only one she ever knew who would stroll through Walgreens with a shopping cart and leave...

Today would have been Dorothy's 53rd birthday. She was my sister, substitute mother, and best friend. I've been so touched by the kind words people have said about Dorothy, and the obvious impact she had on the lives of everyone she came into contact with. Dorothy was truly one of the most unique persons I've ever known. She always had an opinion and she was an amazing problem solver. Today, my family is grieving her untimely passing while trying to find ways to celebrate her life. I know...

My sincere condolences to all. I knew Dorothy when we were in middle and high school and have very fond memories of her.

My condolences to Jim and Dorothy's sisters and brothers and of course mom. It must be painful to be preceded in death by one of your own children no matter how old they are.
I learned about what happened from Jim at Spie Tool. He was calling to place an order with me. I work for Bade Paper.
I remember Dorothy for being very conscientious and efficient. I hope her spirit will continue on at Spie Tool. No one cares more about the business than the founder. I wish everyone there...

I will always remember how kind and considerate Dorothy was when I worked with her from Randall Gross & Co. David and Mabel, please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.
