Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Bob, Dave and families; We share your heartache in the loss of your mother. Our friendship goes back to Jr. Woman’s club and sorority times – with loads of good memories and fun times -as we recalled those days when four of us shared dinner and memories on Monday before Dorothy became hospitalized. Dorothy lived life to the fullest – and enjoyed every minute. What a great tribute to her personality and love of family and friends! Do please accept our deepest sympathy Pat Austin
