Dear Dormer Family: May the great times that you all have shared together sustain you during these difficult days ahead. Your Dad must have been very proud to see that you all have grown to be such great people. May you comfort one another and share the happy memories you all have of your time with him. His work is done, his suffering over, and now he is granted his well deserved eternal rest. God Bless you all. Sincerely,
