  1. All warm thoughts to the Taylor family and a big, long hug to Ted. Dorothy was one of those ladies I would always want to visit with no matter where I’d run into her. She will be missed.

  3. Ted and family with a heavy heart we send our deepest condolences. Dorothy will be missed by many.
    I don’t think she knew how much fun, she was, we could talk and laugh for hours. When I say we I mean Dorothy, Nancy Z. & Nancy R. The times we had, stories told, and Dorothy was so gullible, Nancy & I would tell a tall tale and get her going, when she caught on she always said “ oh you girls” and we’d all have a good laugh.
    Farewell my friend, till we meet again. Tell Nancy Z. I miss her too.

  4. Dear Ted,
    I have such fond memories of you and Dorothy at Outdoor Education camp! You both always had a smile for me whenever I went through the food line to get my tray of food. Dorothy’s smile would light up the room! Ted, I am praying comfort and peace for you as you go on without the love of your life. May God hold you tightly in the days to come. Sending a huge hug for you, my friend.
