We are deeply sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear Aunt Dorothy has passed.Ill never forget staying at the farm.Collecting eggs and going into the large barn with all the cows.She always seemed so happyand was so kind to us when we were there.I will miss her.
Dear Diane and Dorothy's whole family, My sincere sympathy and condolences for your huge loss. I remember Dorothy was a very nice lady and a great sewing 4-H leader. She had 4-H meetings in her lovely home, and helped me adjust a blouse pattern to better fit me. There was a very nice picture of her and Richard in the paper for their 68th anniversary. Very sorry to hear of her passing. From Rose (Burkholder) Keyes, Diane's classmate since first grade at Cork.
