Dearest Mary,
I was so sorry to read of Dusty's passing.
My Prayers are with you and will be thinking of you at this time. We all had
such good times at the Dental office (Dr.
Appel). I truly miss all of you "special patients" since I retired. Dusty always had a good joke to tell when he came in.
May God be with you at this truly sad time. Love, Roberta

Mary, Our deepest sympathy to you. Dusty was a special uncle - always so jolly with a joke to share. I always loved his yodeling. We have many memories of trips to the dog track, and the horse races as well as some card games now and then. I am so sorry that we were not there to see Dusty this past May when he returned from his Honor Flight. I would have loved to have given him a big hug. May God's peace and strength be with you, Mary.
