Our time spent in Victor was made nicer because of her and Frank's generosity and kindness. They were great neighbors. Sue Filutze sujo@ida.net Jean, Frank and family I was very sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. Unfortunately I didn't know her before her illness, but just knowing Jean and Frank have given me much insight as to what a wonderful person Dorothy was. You are wonderful neighbors, and I hope during this time you find peace in knowing the lord simply needed another hand in his work. Alisa Karstad My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I had the privilege of serving Dorothy as a CNA and I found that she had a real inner strength that could not be dimmed by her trials and physical ailments. I know that she is in a better place and will be rewarded for her faith through all the difficulties that she has endured. Please know that I am thinking of your family at this time. Love, Alisa
