Dear John, Geoff, & Garrett,
We are so sorry for the loss of Deb. She was one of the strongest, bravest women I’ve ever known. Though we weren’t close for many years, I’m so grateful for the time we did have getting to know each other better in this last year. She was such a wonderful, wife, mother, and daughter. I admired her very much.
Love to you all,
Carol Dorsey & Family
Dear John, Geoff and Garrett,
I was so very sorry to hear of the passing of Deb. She was an amazing person. Deb and I were friends for a long time and I have always cherished that friendship. She was also a great person to work with at Hamilton/SWATCH, we had so many good times over the years in and out of work. One thing I have always loved about her was she always put her family and friends first before herself. She will be greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God get you through this difficult time.
