Janey, I'm sorry for your loss!

April 15, 2013

Auntie Dody will be sorely missed by all of us. One of the things we will always remember is her understanding of everything, as well as her sense of humor even to the end. As you know, after Morry passed away, Mort and Shirley continued to do everything together with Dody as Mort's "second wife", including traveling everywhere. Therefore, is should not surprise anyone that Doe passed away on the anniversary of Mort's death and six months to the day of the anniversary of Shirley's death.

We feel certain that Dody would want everyone attending the funeral to take a little something to eat with them when they go home.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the funeral because we are traveling in Italy at this time, but are thoughts are with you.
