Dear Olson Family,
I was very sad to learn of "Aunt Dorothy's" passing. She was already an angel on earth and now I am sure she is an angel in God's kingdom. After Bill and I were divorced, Dorothy and I made an effort to keep in touch. We never missed Christmas greetings and she often remembered me on my birthday. She was such a beautiful soul and a very special lady. She went out of her way to let me know she still considered me "family." This earth and the people who were fortunate enough to have her in their lives were so lucky to have that for 92 years. She was deeply loved and will be missed.
With deepest sympathy,
Vicki Lurken Heimsoth
