An angel lived among us, a gift from God above. She showered us with kindness and shared with us her love. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family as your daughter-in-law. David and I will treasure all the memories and that smile upon your face.

Will miss Dorothy, we didnt talk on a regular basis, just picked up where we left off the last time we had spoke. I met Dorothy when I went to work at JCI, fun lady to work with. I hope I feel good enough to make it to visitation on Monday, but I know she will forgive me if I dont. We'll meet again my friend.
