    It is with sadness that I hear of your Mom’s passing. I remember your Mom from when I met her at Ellwood. Every day after I taught I chatted with her and she was a gem with great stories and a wonderful insight of life. She loved you all and talked about you and how proud she was of you.
    I will alway remember our chats and her love of life.

    Dorothy was a wonderful woman. We spent many hours doing puzzles at her house, and spending a lot of time at The Bolton Legion having a drink, or serving an Auxillary dinner. I have been out of Bolton for awhile now, and I am just hearing about her passing now. My condolences to all the family.
