An Angel walking among us
Debbie, Sandy, Blaine and family. My heart breaks for you. Your mom was so kind to me and everyone she ever knew. She was truly an Angel walking among us. We are all better for knowing her. My deepest sympathies

A House Full of Love
I don’t have many memories from when I was very young, but the ones I have are all from Grandma Dorothy’s house!
I remember bouncing on the couch cushions with Chelsea and Holly while listening to “I Like It, I Love It” for the first time ever. Pretty sure we got yelled at but we didn’t care. God bless Grandma and her enduring patience!
I remember the first time I stepped on glass (ouch!) and Jake and Nate went into full CSI mode all over the living room to find it while Grandma patched me up.
I remember when I first time I got to play video games with the big kids and it meant the world to me that they said I was good (in hindsight I wasn’t, but they were super nice about it).
I don’t remember any of the specific days at school that I had after leaving her house, but I remember so much of the time I spent there.
Grandma’s house was always full of love, and I’ll always be grateful that she shared it with me and our family, too.

She will always have a special place in our hearts , we were so blessed to know her as a friend, caregiver and “ adopted” grandma. She was one of the best and is now rejoicing in heaven with her loved ones who went before her .
Prayers for comfort for her family .
