So sorry to learn of great aunt Dorothy's passing.  I remember her visits (usually with Della) to Hibbing to see my grandpa Dan and later my dad and uncle Bob.  The last visit I recall was in the late mid-late 90's at our lake cabin, I had taken a great picture of everyone during that visit but the developing company lost the film.  My dad always enjoyed seeing "the twins". 

You are all in our thoughts and prayers,

LeeAnn and Ruth

Kitty, Tim(-Julie), Sherrie, Dick and Ann:

Dorothy was my beloved neighbor for five years.  I'm so sad I didn't know, and missed the funeral to honor her and celebrate her life!  I'm hoping you receive my note even after the funeral. 

I remember the first time I met Dorothy after moving in nextdoor.  She asked me how much I bought my house for; I sidetracked but probably by the next day I disclosed it and we became fast friends!  You see, the only reason she asked was because she lived independently and was interested in being informed on her property worth.  Our age difference didn't matter.  How blessed I was to have a stand-in mom, grandmother-type, and dear friend all rolled into one!  Not to mention she was a great cook to swap recipes with, although there was probably more receiving on my end.  The doors to our houses were always open to each other.  I think I can still hear her say, "Yo-hoo, Linda, it's Dorothy!"  She was such a mainstay to Kitty's family, and I think she lived as long as she did because she felt needed. 

I would have loved seeing you all.  A special hi to all Kitty's kids, you were all so good looking and talented.  I remember Nichole's catering and refereeing, Whitney rubbing Dorothy's feet, Emerson's great play, Keirden and her horses--and Zorro!  To Katrine, I don't know if you remember, you used to call me Della-Linda, all those L's. 

Dorothy, God sure made his best in you. 

Blessings, all.

To all the family- our thoughts and prayers are with you. (I knew Dorthy only by Gramma, through Nicole Clark)...She was an amazing, strong and faithful woman! May you all remember all the fun times and know she is in a beautiful place!

Never having known Mrs. Crawford, her qualities and personality have been clearly expressed through our colleague Ann.  A remarkable nurse whose positive and profound contributions to her family, patients and co-workers are a fitting tribute to her mother's caring, guidance and love.

Our deepest condolences to Ann and her entire family for their loss.

Many of my childhood memories include the Crawford family.  "Mrs. Crawford" made me feel part of her family and it was always a treat to run into her around town, sharing a hug and a laugh.  She was a "lady" in every sense of the word and just knowing she is gone fills me with a feeling of loss.  And her pea and cheese salad was to die for!

My deepest sympathy to all the family.

Ann, Brad, Isaac and Keaton,

We are so sad to hear of your Mom's passing Ann. I will always remember her climbing the basketball bleachers in Rochester to watch Isaac play.  She was cheering right along with us "silly" Moms.  What a great example of love and support, and a wonderful gift to you and your family.  I know where you get your big heart.

God's Peace,

The Meyers

Wendy, Paul and Ben

its so sad see someone that cares and out going. I will will miss her and I will be missing  talking to her when I deliver her paper. I am pleased to know her.

To my wonderful mother-in-law,

I will, as many of us, will miss you so dearly.  From the first day I met you I never once felt uncomfortable in your presense.  You were always there for those in need.  Your giving personality touched so many.  You gave me the love of my life and I will forever be grateful for this.  Thank you for giving so much of yourself to all of us and reminding us the positives in life outweigh the challenges all of face at times during our selfish ways.
