Family of Dodi Dieter, You all have my sincere condolences. I met Dodi through Bob dieter who worked with at Goodyear. I thought that Bob was a great person. When I met Dodi I found her to be just as wonderful. May they rejoice in their reunion up above. I know Bob has probably already made a few funny remarks. God Bless them and all of you!

To the family,
So sorry for your loss your mom was so much fun. My parents Lucile and Bill Mackin (both gone) loved all the fun they had with your mom and dad. Your parents were wonderful friends especially when my father was misssing in 1975. Your mom and dad also were very nice to accept my moms second husband Rich Guilod into their great circle of friends.
God Bless
