Thank you for your kind words about Mother. I know she thought very much of both of you. She spoke very fondly of her times with you and we, her family, can feel her looking upon us and helping to guide us along our life paths, as she is of you. She was full of love, kindness and was able to attain a large amount of peace. She also had just that touch of vinagar that spiced up her personallity and made her fun to be around. She, of course, was not perfect, but she was also the first to admit to her perceived short-comings. Of course, without those you cannot grow as a person.

Dorothy played in a bridge group with me for several years. She was such a sweet lady. Thoughts and prayers are with you as we all remember this wonderful, peaceful lady. God Bless, Elaine Peters

Dorothy was such a wonderful, wonderful person. She completed her dietetic internship at El Dorado Hospital, doing a great job, and she made such a difference in the lives of her patients and friends. We spent many wonderful times in her beautiful house, laughing and contemplating all. Thank you, Dorothy. You meant so much to me. I will miss you so much. May God shine down on your beautiful family as I know you will, too. Peace to you. Love, Marianna
