So sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. What a wonderful person! She was always so kind and caring, with a big smile. We were fortunate to work together for many years, and I always enjoyed hearing about her family. She was so proud of all of them, and cherished the time they had together.

So many fond childhood memories with the Mizura family. My siblings and I were always welcome into their home. Often waiting in their family room for the bakery some delicious homemade cookies. Trying to be on my best behavior. Mrs. Mizura would laugh knowing why we were there. I hope and believe that we will all meet in a better place when the time comes. My prayers go out to each of you!
