"To the entire family, I am so sorry I did not know about this earlier. I loved your mother/grandmother a lot. I will never forget the times we spent making thanksgiving dinner, and then sharing with your family. She was truly a wonderful person and I am sad for your loss. It is a little late, but all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Miss you all. "

"Aunt Dorothy was very good to me when I was a child and I am glad that I was able to share this with you Ron last month. Also, I graduated from Felician Academy in 1957. Diane, I still remember you visiting us with your mother in Sault Ste Marie when we lived there. My prayers are for all of Aunt Dorothy's family to be at peace knowing that she is with God now. May God bless you all. Love, Joan Dreger"
