My sympathy for your loss. Your mother was a real sweetheart. It’s been many years, but I still remember her kind and warm smile.

Frank Stoltz, Belleville, Illinois, 62220


I am so sad to learn today that Dorothy passed away more than a month ago and I didn’t know it. She was a special person and I was very fond of her. We had many long telephone conversations before she moved to Columbia and I missed her a lot after that. My sincere condolences to the entire family. Sending my love and prayers!
