Messages of Condolence
My deepest condolences on the loss of Dodie. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. With regrets I am not able to attend the funeral as I am out of town. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are going out to all of you in your time of need.
We are truly sorry to hear of Dodie’s death. She was a good friend for over 30 years.
We remember many happy occasions, events and social activities with both Dodi and Bob. Dodi was a wonderful lady and we’ll miss her. She and Bob are together again in heaven.
Dosie,
You were a Queen, a Regal Lady. You added dignity, warmth and
friendship to our Ohio K of C activities. Both you and Bob were a gift to the Ohio K of C and warm friends. I’m sure God has pre-
pared a special place for you in His Heavenly Kingdom.
Our deepest condolences to your family.

Bob, Jim and Members of Dodie’s family,
My sympathy at the death of your mother. When I was K of C State Chaplain when Charlie Reisbeck was State Deputy and your dad was a State Officer – I have many fond memories of our time together. Your mother was always there and it was always a delight to visit with her.
i will remember her and your dad at Mass.

They were both great people.

Dear Sears Family,
I am so sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences at this time. Something that I have found to be a great source of comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible. Also at Revelation 21:4 where we see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we deal with sorrow, pain and even death itself. it is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family comfort at this time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.
