Dear Richie, Jeanne and Michael,

We were so sad to hear the news of Aunt Dorthy's passing....As we found when "Rip" passed away, you do find comfort in knowing they're at peace and with God above.
Rip was so fond of your mother....he would always tell us how much he looked up to her and how special she was to him.....She was a lovely, loving lady.

Cherish the memories you hold most dear to your heart....May God continue to shine His light upon you and to help you through this most difficult time.

Love, blessings and comfort to you all,

Mary Beth and Bob Kirby
