I bowled with your Mom and remember her as a fun gal. Also, she worked at Turners with me a couple of times. My sympathies to all her family.

Dear Gary and Steve .... my heart felt sympathies at this time . Wanted to share my fondest memory of your Mom. Years ago, Bill, Dorothy, the Jostens , the Arrases, and others I cant remember.... would go to the Waterloo Sportsmen club for dinner , music, and drinks. Steve took me out there for some great food, and of course, beer.
While there, music started, and Dorothy and I danced. Soon into the dance, she said
" what are you doing ??"...as I really didnt know how. She QUICKLY straightened me out,..... on how to lead..... and enjoy couples dancing. TO THIS DAY,!!!!!!! I think of Dorothy ...and say 'thanks' ...for " straightening me out " on the dance floor,....... as dancing has become a favorite activity of my wife and I. Thank You Dorothy !!!! for just being You.
Sincerely,
Jim Hopkins
