I've known Dorothy Eggers for 59 years. She was like a second mother to me. Her daughter Paula Luckenbihl who passed away May 6th, 2022 was my best friend since Junior High School.
Dorothy was a joy to be around.
We shared many holidays with Paula, Ray Eggers, Dorothy's husband and Raymond Eggers her son who passed away too soon and young. I remember Thanksgiving dinners we all gathered and many special times on Christmas Eve.
I loved Dorothy and am grateful for good times with her and many special memories.
Rest in peace Dorothy.
