Dear Barbara, Rich, Donna, Reith, and Randy,
We are very sorry to hear of Dottie’s passing. We have many memories of her: my first carpooling trip to TLV(most likely my first time to TLV); golfing at TLV; playing cards there. I can still see her at the Walp’s July 4th get togethers. Her laugh! She was a neat lady! And she will be missed. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you at this difficult time.
May her memory be eternal.
With love and sympathy,
Angie & Mark
