Dear Dorothy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. I know I haven't seen you in a very long time, but I do have memories of times you and Bob spent with Art, Phyllis and Grace. I also remember babysitting when you lived next door. Take care of yourself and let others help you when they can.

In Christ's love,

Margaret(Cochrane)Porter

Dorothy,
We lived on Palmer, the Livelys kitty-corner from us on Klimm. I have many happy memories of playing with the Lively kids, including Bob when we were growing up...lots of Cowboys and Indians and Cops and Robbers!
May the Lord comfort you and yours as you walk through this unwanted path of grief. May you be able to offer the "sacrifice of praise" to God...this helps dull the sharpness of death and helps keep the mind focused on the resurrection. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
