Not sure what to say?

I have so many fond memories of Dottie and Jess and the Rancho Impossible. They were so darling and kind to me as a child. I think about them often and the many wonderful days I had playing in the creek in front of the house or fishing in the reservoir or the hours playing in the fantastic treehouse. My condolences to Gail and Joan on their loss.

Wow what a lady! Dottie was a part of my life for over 23 years, and she was so much like a Mom to me. Always asking me about my life, smiling, and laughing with me,cooking and baking. I know that her "real" family will miss all the wonderfulness about her as they have a lifetime of memories, that I hope they will remember now and always.
I will miss you Dottie.

Gail,
I believe you sent me an email. Unfortunately it went to my junk folder. I was not able to retrieve it. Please try again, When you have time..

Dottie and her late husband, Jesse, were valued members of our local VFW post and Auxiliary. Both of them were much admired and will be missed by all the members.

So very sorry to read of your mom's passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories that include Dottie, Jesse and all of you - all those summers camping at Wheeler's and the beach - good times! After all the years gone by I can still hear Dottie's laugh and see her smile. The last time I saw her and Jesse was at my mom's services 15 years ago and was very appreciative that they traveled back to Oxnard to be there. It brings me comfort to believe that our...

Dear Joan and family,
I am saddened to learn of your mom's passing.. It was many years ago, that our parents were friends & I remember coming to your house. (I believe off Santa Rosa Rd). Lots of prayers of comfort and peace being said for all of you.
Lovingly,
Sherri Schoenberger

Dear Joan & Jake, I am so sorry to see the news in the paper this morning. Dottie was such a sweet, wonderful person. I always looked forward to seeing her at WTC. My friends always wondered why I only bought my raffle tickets from her. I told them, I want to see her. I will miss seeing her. I know she must be in Heaven with Jesse. You have our deepest sympathy. Sincerely, Sandy & Jim

Dear Joan, Jake, Craig and Courtney, and Family.... as you know more than anyone, you had an amazing wonderful grandmother/mother who will be so missed. She lives in all of you by her spirit, which lives in you all, by all the good that you are, and that you do. You are blessed with an amazing family. May you all be comforted with the abundance of good memories that you will always have. Love, Danette and Family.
