To Quentin, your family, and especially Larry and Pam: The loss of Dorothy and all of the hats she wore as a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister as well as the many church and community hats will surely be felt. I am sorry that I cannot attend the visitation or the service but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Most sincerely, Louise Wortman
My deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Vonnie, I remember the times that we would stop in at your Grandma and Grandpa’s house. She would always greet us with a smile and ask us what we were up to. She was a nice lady. With warm thoughts and memories, Kristin
To Quentin and all of your family…Brad and I are so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s death. I spoke to Mom (Marge Jackson) and she said that she and Dorothy had talked on Friday after Mass. We lost Dad just a year ago August 22, so I bear your grief with you…please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God’s Blessings to you. Brad and Janet Petersen
Dear Quentin and Family, We are sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. I remember so many wrestling meets that you folks would be attending when Larry and Paul were grapplers in high school. She was always a happy supporter. Dad is at Windmill Manor in Coralville so he has difficulty getting out but send his thoughts and sympathies along with ours. Sincerely, Marie and Lyle
