To the Wonderful Dobbin Family,
My sincere condolences. It was easy to smile in thinking of his service work to the Our Lady of Angels & Holy Family Community - especially knowing how it was passed down in the family. A member of the Angels, no doubt.
God Bless-

Diane and family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the passing of your father.
I have wonderful memories of both your father and your mother. They were both wonderful people and I had so much fun at your house. I'm sure we put them through the paces with some of the stunts we pulled in high school. They are finally together again.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Mr. Dobbin.
