Dear Smith family,



I was very saddened to hear the passing of our beloved Dorothy. I met Dorothy through our beloved neighbors and friends George and Georgianna Kaufman. The Kaufmans lived next door to us on Austin Avenue. Dorothy attended my wedding as well as my brother and sister's weddings. I will always remember her as the most sweet and kindest person. I am blessed to have known such a wonderful person. May our good Lord grant her eternal rest and much comfort to the loved ones that were left behind.

With love,

Effie Kokkinias-Tonkovic and Family
