Learning of Dorothy's passing thrust me back to my childhood on Poppleton Road during the 50s. With a milk pail swinging on the handle bar, I would ride my bike to the Mushala farm for milk for our supper. Dorothy was often in her garden and Joe in the barn. Maria and I often sat on the school bus together. My thoughts are with you all as you find strength in your memories of a very special Mom.

Joe, Barb & other family members:

Our heartfelt thoughts & prayers are with you. My husband & I remember your mom. My husband spoke highly of her & her being a pleasant woman. Our home of 33 yrs. connected with your farm land. My sons when they were small always loved taking walks on your farmland. Always an adventure.

You will be remembered in our prayers.

Maria, Kathy and Joe, I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have positive memories of her and her inner strength as we were growing up. I can still picture your farm always in view from my front window. I hope all is well with each of you.
