  3. We are SO sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet mother & so very sorry I brought the cupcakes that day. Dorothy was one of a kind! She loved you kids SO much and every time I would do her hair she would tell me everything going on in your lives. If you were coming to visit she would tell me all the things you would do while visiting & all the places you enjoyed eating. She was SO proud of you all! She even told me all about her grand dogs. She was hands down one of the nicest ladies I’d ever met. She would send my children (now 8 &10) birthday cards every year and write sweet little notes in them. She was so loving. She will be missed dearly! We will be thinking and praying if you’re family & the days to come.

  5. I have nothing but good memories of Mrs. Hill. She always had a gentile peace about her that made you feel good when you were around her. She was one of the moms of the community that looked after us growing up. Condolences to my friend Greg and his family.

  6. Greg and Peter and family, Dorothy was a joy to know. She always welcomed the neighborhood children into her home.Growing up on Grandview and having both your parents as neighbors was so special. And after I was married and moved back to Wooster, my husband and I would walk by their home in the evenings and stop by to visit. They always loved talking about their boys. She outlived all the original neighbors. We were so fortunate to be a part of her life. Deepest condolences.

  7. Dear Greg and Peter and Family,

    My mother passed on this news to us this week. My entire childhood Dorothy and Bob were our neighbors. As a child they were always so kind to us, sort of a throwback to a different time when we would be riding our bikes in the street and Bob and Dorothy would be in their yard. They’d have us over for some juice and cookies., which was always a big hit. I fondly remember their koi pond in the back of their yard and loved exploring back there. She was such a kind soul and I have such kind sweet memories of her. Deepest condolences, she will be missed.

  8. Greg, Pete and Family,
    Sorry for the loss of your mother. She always had a smile and pleasant words to say to me. Also, provided many snacks and drinks while we caused havoc in the backyards, camping in the orchard, and riding bikes to Overton.

  10. In 1951, I was 5 when we moved to 416 Beverly. Dorothy & Bob were the young couple down the block. I visited them many times each week and have wonderful childhood memories of glorious moments spent with them. I remember Greg & Peter as babies. Condolences to all the Hill family.
