I have just lost a best friend.
Dorothy and I were together just about everyday either golfing, snowmobiling, bowling etc. Even tho I moved away from HL, she was always on my mind snd in my prayers. I have always loved her as a very dear friend.

We were sorry to read that your mother had passed away. We remember the times she watched the house and watered our plants during the winter months when we were in Texas. Our prayers are with you and all of your family.

Family of Dorothy: I am sorry to read she is gone, but we all have to remember the good times at the house in HoytLakes, the bowling alley, the golf course, the grocery storeetc. birthdays, conversations, all we learned from good old dorth. We are all lucky to have had her. I have thought of her often since she moved to be with Kate, but never knew how to get in contact after that. Now all we have to do is look to the sky and talk to her. I miss you all. Love Kathleen Hein
