Not sure what to say?

your hearts go out you

Big Joe and family, Words cannot express how your friends feel for you. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you. We do know how you feel, thank you for being there for us. We love you all.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the Dodier and Whitten families. I know it is not the same to hear these sentiments as it is for Dee to be here with us, but she is definitely here in spirit and her image remains in her children and grandchildren. The fondest memory I have of Dee is when we went to Tom and Donna's wedding shower and the two of us were mistaken for sisters by a few people in attendance, that's how close of a family resemblance was between us. Victoria and Carlos

Our prayers are with your family during this time of loss. Your Wife/Mom/Grandmother is your direct link to heaven - keep in touch with her in prayer - She is with you always!

Dear Joe and Family
I know some words don't help But we are with you in prayers. God be with you and your family. Hugs next time I see you at walmart

Our thoughts and condolences are with the Whitten/Dodier family. My cousin Dee left me with a cherished memory of barn-dancing in the Fall; around halloween. It was also in Dee's back yard that I first rode a snowmobile. She will be missed.
Love, cousin Eric....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Cherish all your memories and Dee will always be with you.

Our prayers and condolences are
with the Whitten/Dodier and extended family. I will remember
Dee Dee as the beautiful older
cousin who came to Nahant Beach
in the summer.

My prayers go out to the Whitten family. Continue to talk about "Dee" and the good times. She'll always be close to your heart and watching over you. So sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Laurie Horning & Family
