My thoughts are with George and his family now. Dody was always very positive and very loving. She always had something nice to say to me when I would help her with her cares. Thank You for sharing Dody with myself and the staff at FVB.

Dear Brisbin Family,



I want to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of Grandma Dody. I will never forget the love and compassion that she had for everything in life, and how she made me feel so special. I will always cherish the memories of going to the family cabin in the summer; especially going on walks after dinner, going to "town" to shop, and watching her waterski with the best of them. I will always hold dear in my heart the visits to the Brisbin home on Christmas Eve for a wonderful meal and plenty of love! Although Dody was not my biological grandmother, she will always be Grandma Dody to me! Our loss here on earth is truly the gain of a very special angel in Heaven. May Dorothy rest in peace.



With much love,

Diana
