We will be thinking of you on Monday. Dorothy was a wonderful person who cared so much for all of her family and made a special effort to stay in touch. We will miss her dearly but she will always be in our hearts.
I can remember the times when Grandma and Grandpa (Marg & Ken Kersey) would make visits to Frank and Dorothy. Playing cards and visiting. They are all missed and always remembered in our hearts everyday. We will be thinking of you on Monday we have lost a beautiful kind person. (Donna’s daughter) Julie

Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and we are sorry to hear about your loss. I am happy that I got to meet Grandma Holland on a few occasions – I always really liked her, and I know how important she was to her family. Take care of yourselves…we’re thinking of you!
