Memories and Condolences
for Dorothy McWilliams
January 17, 2013
This is Tookie Greindl...on behalf of the Greindl Family we would like to send our deepest sympathies. I was not as fortunate as the rest of my siblings being able to camp for many years at George's Gorge but when I did go it was fun. As an adult I saw Dorothy more at the hair salon and enjoyed our chats. I know that She, George and my mom and dad are enjoying a cocktail reminiscing of the old times. God Bless you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To all of Dorothy's family and friends,
I am Linda (VanParys) Gallagher, Dorothy's cousin. I have many fond memories of Dorothy. I had the honor of being one of her flower girls when she and George were married. When I saw her in her lovely gown I thought she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. She truly was a beautiful,amazing, loving person. I hope your memories bring you peace and comfort.
Again, my sincere sympathy.
