    Dad & I are so sorry to hear of Dorothy&&single&&s passing. A long time friend of Mom, Aunt Noreen, and Nancy Mitchell, Dorothy was a constant companion to them all and along with Art, traveled about town to cards, bingo, the casino, and shopping. They all had a wonderful time. I know Dorothy will be missed by many left behind but she will be greeted by many friends who have gone on before.

    Dear Gary
    I was so saddened to hear of your dear mother’s passing. I had the pleasure of visiting with Dorothy a couple years ago & then again at Mom’s funeral this past November. I remember her as a neighbour just down the road from us on the farm. Her quiet, unselfish loving disposition was second to none. Remember Gary, no one loves us quite like our mothers! My husband & I send our heartfelt condolences to you & your family.
