From Leann Bee. Cindy and family. So sorry for your loss. Dorothy and I had many many laughable moments working at the Manor. She always turned a bad day there into a great day for me with her sense of humor and caring. A true special Lady.
So sorry to hear of her passing. A wonderful person. Thinking of her family and all those who loved her.
So many memories of fun times spent in her home in Rennerdale having grown up with Dorthy, Don and Karen. She was a loving neighborhood mom.
Dear Cousins,
So sorry for the loss of your mother. Aunt Dorothy was a great lady, sweetheart and so much fun.
May the many family memories comfort you all at this difficult time.
Dear Cousins,
We are so sorry to hear about your mom. I have such great memories of all the fun times we had growing up and the special visits we had together. Aunt Dorothy was always sweet, fun-loving, and kind. I can still hear her laugh! Even later on in life, she would always visit our mom when in town, and my own kids got to see her and enjoy those visits! We all loved her!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We hope you find comfort and peace in the days ahead.
Love ~ Nan and Family
