Our condolences to all the family and Dennis (consider him family as well). Ms. Dashiell is so fondly remembered by our family as one whose smile could light up every venue she was in. She was a great cook and her covered dishes were sought after at all the get togethers at the park. You girls have huge shoes to fill as your mom left a beautiful legacy. May the Lord comfort each of you by His Holy. Spirit. Love, Danny, Brenda (Howard), Brandon, Danielle, and Nyckole

To Jane, and the rest of the family, may your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Jane, I know you and I lost touch over the years but I do remember fondly our friendship in our youth and what a special mother you had. She was always smiling and happy and I loved her like my own Mom. She will be missed. I hope to speak with you in the coming months and perhaps, when you are ready, recall some of the times we shared at your house in Portsmouth as kids. GOD Bless you and your family. I love you and miss you.
