To all of Aunt Dorothy’s Family…We are so sorry for your loss. She was the last Aunt we had…We thought of her as one of the dearest people we ever knew. Gary has such fond memories of both she and Uncle Myron. Wish we could be there with all of you but our age and the weather just don’t fit together. Take care and know we will be there in thought and prayer. Love to all!!!
Dorothy was our neighbor for many years. All of our children have treated her as their adopted Grandmother and loved spending time visiting with her. She was such a sweet soul and we will dearly miss her. My husband especially missed her cookies. Dorothy touched many lives in such a positive way, she will have a special place in heaven. Godspeed my friend.
So sorry for you loss Laughlin family. Dorothy was such a sweet lady with her big smile, even when I had to wake her up at 5am for shower day. You will be missed Dorothy.
My condolences to the Laughlin family. I remember Dorothy as a quiet, loving member of the community with an active family around her. I know she will be missed by many.
