To the children of Mrs Dyer, I'm so sorry for your loss. Every time I come back home to Watertown from Illinois I'd stop in to see your mother. She was such a wonderful person. In 2013 until 2019 when my mom passed at 94 I came out to Watertown to take care of my mom. She will surely be missed very much.

Pete & Megan, we are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have known the family for many many years. I remember what a kind lady she was. She was always so willing to have me stay for dinner as a teenager. May she rest in peace. Fred & Cathie Harris
