Such a sweet lady – condolences to the family on your loss.
Teri, I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. I read about it in the Knights of Columbus Prayer Line. May God grant your family comfort.
So many wonderful memories when I was young and gathering at Lawrence and Dorothy’s farm; gathering for holidays – always so much laughter and fun. I hope Dorothy joins a wonderful celebration with her beloved husband and with her grandson and with Dad until we can laugh with them all again. My deepest sympathy to Dorothy’s children and grandchildren.
