I am so sorry Dan. I have many nice memories chatting with your Mom back in the Softball days. We are both Eagle fans and had some laughs from her stories. Such a nice lady who was always showing a great smile whenever I saw her. Our deepest sympathy to you and family. RIP Doris

O Wizened Wanderer Look out on that ever-expanding horizon Put on your most comfortable shoes for the journey is long Our condolences to Ed, Dan and Barb. I really only got to know Dot in the last ten years or so. She really help my parents out and in that kind gesture helped out my sisters and me. In getting to know her I found out what a joy it was to talk to her and be around her. She lead a very interesting and colorful life and shared her stories without reserve. It was wonderful to have gotten the chance to spend time with her.
