Just was thinking about Dorothy and John the other day and remembering the first time I met John in the Aldi's parking lot. Know they are having a wonderful new life together in heaven. Can't wait to meet again!

Ron & Rick,

My parents, Bill & Dorothy Fang, loved your parents and were life long friends. They went out together many, many times to parties, dancing, restaurants, vacations, etc,. I still remember a vacation way back, when we were all together, kids and all, on vacation in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.

My Dad passed away in 2006. My Mom (Dorothy) is currently living at a senior living community called The Radcliff in Wood Dale, IL.

Love, Bill & Kathe Fang

Ron and Rick and families,
I loved your mom and dad and am so glad I got to know them through driving your mom and my mom to Woman's Club. I know they are together again now and carefree. I will look forward to seeing them again one day.
Sincerely, Janet Linhart
