Dear Bob and Lynda......
I was saddened to learn of your mother's passing. I retired four years ago after forty-one years of service at Turner & Porter. I was honoured to have been associated with your mother during her many years at T&P, until it was just not easy for her to continue working. She always treated families with such kindness and compassion. Long after leaving, she continued to send me a Christmas card each year, always with a little note. She was a "class act". Dorothy will be missed not only by her family and friends, but by her family at T&P. Unfortunately, I'm on vacation in the southwest and unable to attend the visitation or the funeral service.

Bob, Lynda and family;
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your Mum with love, great respect and deep sadness.
Your Mum was a super special person who always treated me like part of the family! She was fun loving, hard working women, most of all a sincere loving Mum. She always had a smile on her face and was glad to see you, welcomed you into her home even if you couldn’t stay! Your Mum will continue her legacy as an inspiration for me and many others whom she touched their hearts. She will live on in my memory and thoughts.
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still Loved, still missed and very dear.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Peace and love to you all,
Sue, family and extended friends who have sent their condolences.
