So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. We first met when we were “exercising” years ago and later at the annual Christmas party. Dorothy always had a wonderful smile and loved keeping us informed of her family. She was such a nice lady and will be greatly missed.

Dorothy was a wonderful woman. Our sympathy and prayers are with you.
Our wonderful Aunt Dorothy was an extraordinary family organizer of reunions for the Rachers for at least 40 years of her life. She either called or stopped by to invite us personally when the date was coming up.She always sent birthday cards or get well cards to us in the mail and was present at many family celebrations of weddings and anniversaries. She and Uncle Ross loved to square dance and round dance too…. we even went to a cottage with them two years in a row…Aunt Dorothy was so young at heart and we will miss her energy she packed into family events. She was such a grande lady of faith too and for that reason we wish her a “bon voyage” to Eternal life with God and her beloved friends and families. ” He will raise you up on eagle’s wings….and hold you in the palm of His hand. Pat and Norm
So sorry to hear the sad news of Aunt Dorothy’s passing…. She was such a wonderful person who always had a smile on her face. I loved to get out to the farm each Sunday and spend time with the family. Aunt Dorothy made the best german cholcolate cake!
Although we are unable to be there, our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

To the entire Font Families, so sorry to hear about the passing of Dorothy. She was a lovely lady and always had a smile on her face while talking to her as she lived at LMV for the past few years. I enjoyed looking after her and talking with her too. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. All you sons were so good to your mother while she lived there she would be so proud of you all. Take care former PSW from LMV Maureen Bailey xoxo
