Linda and family, I am sorry for your loss.
Richard and family, I was so sorry to hear of Dorothys passing. After my mother died last year she called me and we had a wonderful chat for over an hour, about growing up in Palo next door to each other, all those years ago. She was a really nice person, and very thoughtful. I so enjoyed our conversation. May god bless all your family. Daniel Cosman
Please accept out heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. But her memories will live on, in your heart forever! We have so many great memories of spending many weekends hanging out with Dorothy and Harold when the guys would play music. My mom(Helen) was honored to be her special friend and will greatly miss her!
May God Bless all of your family!
