Sorry for your loss! I worked with Dorothy "Grandma" at South Elementary. She was a wonderful person. She loved the kids and the people she worked with! My daughter Mary was sad to hear of this also. She enjoyed Grandma.

Sincerely,
Troy, Mary, and Andrew Hayes

I am so sorry to hear this! Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
Your mom and dad used to winter in Florida and did many things with Uncle Kenny and Aunt Alma. I can remember going to their House to visit and had a great time. I would love to keep in touch with you.
Thinking of you and your family.

So sorry for your loss, Sharon. Aunt Dorothy was a beautiful, kind lady. As a kid when we came from Iowa to see our Rhines family, a stop at your house was always full of wonder and fun. Uncle Glen showing his latest sculptures or projects and Aunt Dorthy visiting about so many different things. She was a teacher even in casual conversation. I'm hoping we can connect and keep in touch.
A cousins reunion would be incredible.
Again, my condolences for your loss.
