To Dorothy's Family: I was so sad to learn of your Mother's passing. I had a very nice visit with her in Dec. at the Senior Citizen's lunch that our Prior Lake Lion's Club sponsors. Dorothy was such a good friend and a very gracious lady. Since I'm out of town this winter,, I was not able to attend your Mother's services. You are in my prayers and thoughts. May God Bless you.

My dear Aunt Dorothy. I will miss her so much eventhough I had not seen her in several years. She was such a positive force in my life--such an encourager. Her life was cut way too short. She will always remain in my heart and I hope she knew how much she was loved by her niece.

I just learned this morning that Dorothy is gone...BUT SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! She was always so good to keep in touch with her many friends from Continental Machines.
Her family was everything to her and she will be dearly missed by all. My thoughts and sympathies go to every one of her family members.

Dorothy was one of the most loving persons I have ever known. She was always there for you, and she cared for and loved so many. When my own mother died, she reached out to me in a time of need and was always so caring.
My thoughts, prayers and love to the Niver family.
God Bless

Just called her on her birthday, 2/11, had to leave my greetings on voice mail. She was a doll and we had great fun when we lived in same townhouse cul-de-sac and when I visted her in TX. Her children and grandchildren were her great loves. Will be missed by all she knew. God will take care of her.
