To the Dassow family my deepest and heartfelt condolences. I have many fond memories of Mrs. Dassow as a child growing up on Byron St. One thing I will NEVER forget is her sloppy joe's!!! I have never nor do I believe I ever will taste anything quite like them. God bless. May the feelings of loss you have now be replaced with warm memories soon. Love, Ellen
