So sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. Your family has been so special to us. We remember a time around your dinning room table, a visit to the Green Dragon and the weddings of your three granddaughters. Praying for strength at this time.

We are sad to hear of Carl’s passing. May God comfort you in this time of loss, Dorothy. I mainly remember you at your market at Green Dragon when we would come home to visit from Alberta, Canada. Uncle Milt and Aunt Ida were special relatives to me as a child and I remember their home at Kissel Hill. I guess this says something of my age. Barbara Ann (White) and George Wicker
