Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Mom. I had the privilege of knowing Dorothy when I was a volunteer at the hospital. Every Tuesday and Thursday I would sit with her while she ate lunch. With encouragement, she soon learned to feed herself again. Since moving from the area, I have often thought of her. She was a lovely lady with such sparkling eyes, a contagious smile and a witty sense of humour. May your memories of her bring you comfort.

Dorothy was content being a wife and mother to five children ! Family life was what she chose and she was good at it ! Like the saying goes ---- "She did it her way !" A time out was a walk to the grocery store and back stoping along the way to talk with a friend !
Dorothy was a soft speaking lady, she was kind . and always made us feel welcome when we came for a visit !

Dorothy we are going to miss you -------- we will remember you !!
With love your brother Melville --Wife Sherry
