Dorothy Elaine Dowell

Mike, Margie, Tasha, and Marisa: You have been in our hearts, minds, and prayers throughout this very difficult period. Our love and devotion toward each of you is beyond measure. We will cherish and treasure the memory of Aunt Dorothy throughout the remainder of our lives, blistfully remembering her sweet character, loving manner, gentle smile, and enthusiasm for life and family. There is an Irish headstone that reads: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Tom lived life to the fullest; their legacy resides in the heearts of their children and grandchildren. Their courage and strength are clearly evident in each of you. Emily Dickinson once wrote "Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality." Your mother and grandmother took the first step toward immortality. With heartfelt sympathy and eternal love/Tom, Mary Ann, and family

Margaret, my love and prayers go out to you and your family. The tribute is wonderful! What a nice remembrance. Love, Michele

Dear Mike and Family: So sorry for your loss. We at MMHI are thinking of you and want to express our support for you. Take care and best wishes. Jim Spoerl
