Dear Mary Lou and Family,

Our sincerest to the family. Dorie was a very, very nice neighbor whom my wife and I are going to miss. '' I remember my first meeting with Dorie when we had first moved in and will always cherish it. Along with many others of chatting in our back yards. Not long conversations, but very nice neighborly conversations. Once again, you are in our prayers. The neighbor to the north with the little black and white Pommeranian...aka Bandit. Don and Diane Kruse

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
