    Dear Bev and Lance, Sending caring thoughts and sympathy on dear Dorothy's passing. You brightened each other's lives with all the love, happiness, joy and the deep friendship you shared. When any health concerns arose for Dorothy, your devotion, caring ways and support for her well-being always made Dorothy feel so loved, comforted, safe and unafraid, and that is how she left you. I will always think of Dorothy with great fondness, a truly wonderful woman who gave so much to so many, just by being sweet Dorothy. I know you will forever cherish all the beautiful and happy memories; they will surely make you smile. With heartfelt sympathy, Charlotte
