Lisa said it very well! I have many fond memories of your parents from my childhood. My Brothers and I used to ride our bikes the 3 or so miles to the store to get candy. I remember well always being greated warmly. I also remember your parents helping out when times were tough by "crediting" groceries.

They were truly special people.

Peace be with your family.

To the Family of Dorothy (Dot), I fondly remember your Mom & Dad when I was a child growing up in Jefferson. I would pass their (your) home while walking to & from school. Go to the store for many a thing. Your Mom always a fiendly word she would say when she would see me. I live in Stamford now but when I do go over to Jefferson & take a walk up & around the town I often reflect on my memories of the beautiful town Jefferson use to be & it was that way because of the good people like your MOM & DAD.. May it give you comfort to know that your MOM & DAD live on in fond memories of many. God Bless Your Mom & You & your Family~ With Deepest Sympathy~
