We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Dorothy. Her daughter, Pat and son-in-law Ted were very good friends of us in earlier years. We were in 4-H and School together and had many good times. Dorothy was kind and gentle and may God give you strength in your time of sorrow. Love, Jim and Bonnie Dick
