Marty, Sharen, Kathy, and Terry,

Bill and I wanted to extend our deepest sympathy to you all on the loss of your mother. Growing up all of my memories of Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Mickey were the best. I know from what F.J. has told us that she struggled the past few years, but now she is at rest and with my dad, Aunt Rita, Aunt Margie and Grandpap and Grandma Lennon. May all your memories be happy ones. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Trish and Bill Perry
