Please accept our condolences for the loss of your mother. It was a pleasure knowing her.
Dorothy was a dear friend to my mother Jean and grandmother Blanche. She has been part of my entire life and we have always considered her to be family. We share your grief and will miss her humor, grace, and style.
Pat and family,
We are sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Dorothy was always
a fun lady to work with. She stood out as one strong individual.
Marty and Fred
We would like to extend our sympathy, thoughts & prayers to all of Dorothy’s family at her passing. We had lost touch with her a few years ago when her Christmas card returned with no forwarding address. Please know we will always remember her fondly.
Shortly after my Wife of 57 years passed away on 01/29/11 a frenid sent me the Good News article. Of all the sources about dealing with grief which load my livingroom table, this one makes the most sense To Me. I have reread it many times, each time getting new insights and coping strategies. I am approaching the 6-month milestone and find that, as Ms. Konigsberg writes, the sharp pains are beginning to subside, never to disappear completely.I am grateful for comfort she has given me.
