Brian and Family – i am sorry for your loss- I wish you peace
So sorry to hear of Dorothy passing. Her and Harold were such great people.Harold worked years ago with my dad,Jim Ragar at Conoco.
I remember Dorothy and Harold as such warm and loving people. They were always present at the school events and always had a smile on their faces. I used to see them with Karen at the Gems games all the time. You were very fortunate to have such a wonderful Mother. Dorothy will be greatly missed and may she receive great rewards in heaven!🕊️
Harold and Dorothy were a special couple. Always present for their family and all the St. Mary’s school families. Together again. Rest in peace.
Remembering Dorothy with fond memories. I grew up in the same neighborhood and stopped by occasionally with my Dad for her notary services. Then I worked with her at lllinois State Bank for many years. She was a kind person and always had a smile and conversation.
Sincere sympathy to you, Brian and all your family.
