The family would like to extend their gratitude to her many friends and the staff at Pioneer Village in Appleton, who made such a comfortable home for Dorothy, as well as to the “special angels” at Symphony Place at Brewster Village for taking her under your caring wings. Mom could have been in no better hands. Thank you all so very much.
