Dear Rich and Joyce and all the Diver children,
It is with sad hearts that we have heard about Dorothy ‘s passing . She surely was a wonderful lady . Always had a big “Hello” for us when we would see her . She loved our boys and taught them so many card games at Dewey . It was a great privilege watching her play bingo , a grand master at the game . We are better people for having Dorothy in our lives .
God Bless all of you and our deepest condolences.
With Love ,
Rose and John Coleman
