Sincerely, Jerry & Jan Koch
Gary and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Perry has great memories of Dottie, from way back when he stayed there in Gettysburg on your many fishing trips. Our sympathies to you and Carol. God bless. Joan and Perry Danforth
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. Even thou Dottie’s in a better place it’s still hard to lose a loved one. When times get difficult just remember all the great memories.
It is with great sadness that I read of Dottie’s passing earlier this month. Dean and Dottie were good friends. Dottie would let Dean go fishing with me on a regular basis back when we lived in Gettysburg. “as long as you aren’t too late!” We were able to have a good visit with both of them a couple of summers ago when we were visiting from Nepal. May God hold you and especially Dean in his hands at this time of loss. We will truly miss her.
