Jerry & Karen & family. So very sorry that Dort has left us, but grateful to God that she is now well and safe in His arms. Dort was the best of the best.
Dort was a wonderful, warm and caring lady. We loved spending time with her and going out to lunch and dinner. We will also remember searching for hippos on our shopping trips. We will miss her very much.
Prayers and peace. She was an incredible woman. And she will be missed.
Thinking of her. She was a wonderful, loving, and caring person. I will miss her lots. Loved going to the zoo with her and Jerry.
We were privileged to know Dort for almost 50 years.
We are remembering the good times and are glad she is at peace now.
May she frolic with all the hippo angels !!
