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).

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

So many years ago....Miss you all!

My visit with Dorothy summer of 2011

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.

You will be missed, and are so very loved. May the Lord...
