Messages of Condolence
Dave and Delores,
I was sad to hear about Dorothy, but what a wonderful life! She lived such a long, active life, but she will still be missed. I’m glad I visited with my granddaughter this past year. She really enjoyed seeing her great, great niece (there may even be another ‘great’ needed there!) Please thank Wally when you talk to him. It was nice of him to keep me updated on Dorothy. (I tried calling him several times, but apparently he doesn’t have an answering machine) I hope Dave is getting better, Wally said he had some surgery.
