Mike-We love to think about Dorothy and all her battery operated toys she'd bring out during a special holiday.. singing Santas (or dancing witches on Halloween).She loved gimmicks and that brought out that twinkle in her eye that everyone talks about..No one will ever forget her. You are in our thoughts, Bill and Sue

Whenever Christmas comes, I always think of Dorothy and her sweaters. She dressed for the holidays! And always looked great! And then there was the Easter Egg decorating contest she & John cooked up. One year the eggs were raw, so the contest was delayed...And the costumes at Halloween. Dorothy was at the heart of so many of our Holiday Celebrations. First, we lost the Mist, and now we've lost Dorothy. So sad. Our prayers and love are with all of the family. We miss you; we miss Dorothy...

Dear Greg, Kathy, Mike, Ashley, Patty & Mike, Mary & Anne,
We share your sadness for the loss of your dear Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Dorothy was a sweet, kind, loving person. Many friends will miss her wit, and that mischievious smile. A great lady is gone, but her Irish eyes are surely twinkling in Heaven with the angels, baby Ava and all the saints there. Remember to tell baby Maggie now sweet it was to be held by Great-Grandma. We will miss her spirit & strength.
