To the Rexings and their extended family. There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love.

Dear Rexing Family,

Dorothy was a wonderful woman. I have many fond memories of spending time with your family in Chicago along with all the other Army Families. We sure had a lot of fun growing up.
I know Dorothy is in splendor with Chris in heaven.
God Bless You.
