I always knew her as Grandma Neyenhouse. She was a wonderful, generous, caring woman. I will always remember the trips to waterworks. She will be greatly missed by all, but will live on in all who knew her.

I always enjoyed talking with your mother when my mom and I would visit her when she was still in Toms River. She was a wonderful person. My sincere condolences for your loss.

Bill and family,
Dorthy was one of a kind and she will be very missed at BNC by all the staff and residents. She always made sure to visit with any resident she heard was feeling ill. She was our social Butterfly.
