Dear Aunt Dorothy, We will miss your cheerful flamboyant ways, your singing voice, your laugh. You left behind many happy memories, including those of when my folks and I first met you at your engagement party to Uncle Adolph. You've had a full life, and were fortunate to play an active role with your grandchildren. And you can rest easy knowing your children will have each other for comfort & sharing memories. Say hello to the Old Marks, I am sure they are welcoming you with open arms. Sue

My Aunt Dorothy from the moment I met her as a young child and was introduced as my Uncle Adolph´s fiancée I will never forget what a breath of fresh air she was and how she lit up the room with her enthusiasm . She had a deep religious faith and devoted love to her children and my Uncle Adolph whom she always talked about.
You will be missed here but I can´t imagine the joy happening being united with your husband and other family .
Lots of love coming your way

Dorothy was simply one of the kindest people that God ever fashioned. She had a profound love for our Church and all those who serve it. May she be with Adolph in God's Presence even now.
