Dorothy Sword

So many memories of the Sword and Keith families on Longmont. God bless you all.

Dorothy was an example to all of us of energy and enthusiasm. She kept a sharp mind and I enjoyed the last few times stopping in and visiting with her in Boise. I remember the many walks she and mom (Thelma) took in the neighborhood. Many times I would see them as far away as Baskin and Robbins in their walks and wondered what those old gals were doing so far away from home (and that was 30 years ago). I have fond memories of being a young child and Dorothy stopping by and mom making...

Dorothy was an amazing lady! I was blessed to see her on visits to Boise, from the time Ralph married Marilyn. I have warm memories of her humor, optimism, insight, deep love of and connection to family. Love and Prayers to all her family!

My sincere condolences to Ralph and Marilyn and family. Thinking of you.

Dear Ralph, John, and Sam,

My thoughts and prayers are with you from down on the Salmon. Godspeed to your sweet mom. I only met her a couple times, but what a wonderful lady!

Love,

JD

Mrs. Sword was such a large part of my growing up years. I had meant to get to the "old neighborhood" and stop by for a short visit, but something always came up. I am hoping that she knows how very much she meant to me, and all of us "kids on the block". There wasn't a better place to grow up than Longmont Avenue back then, the block parties, the closeness, and a great deal of that was due to Mrs. Sword. Safe travels and rest in peace. You will be missed, and are so very loved. May the Lord...
