"Steve and Patty, I am so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing, We know that she is in a better place. Although I am in Kansas now, a day didn't go by without me thinking of her. She and I formed a special bond of friendship and love for one another and I will forever hold that deeply in my heart. May God be with your family during this difficult time. Love, Sherry"
