To the Dohm Family--

On behalf of the members of the Norwood Seniors Network who regularly accompanied your mother on our twice-monthly luncheon outings, we offer our deepest sympathies to each of you at this time of sorrow. Your mother was a "real" sparkle at our gatherings, always laughing and chiming in with her anecdotes and making other worthwhile contributions to our conversations. I can truly say that she will be missed, and I'm glad that she enjoyed the camaraderie. It was mutual. We certainly enjoyed her company.
