Dear Pam and Jenny I know how you cared for Dorothy for so many years taking her to the store and any were else she needed to go. The thing that came to mind was how I could never get her name right. I know we had some laughs over that she was a very sweet lady. Always willing to help she will be missed by all. Know that you all are in my prayers. And I am thinking about you.
Marty, Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family in the loss of your mother!
