I'm very glad I got to see Dorothy last month & spend some time with her. She was always a very upbeat person, with a smile & something nice to say about everyone she met. My thoughts & prayers are with all the family. She will be missed, but always remembered with love. Cheryl Carothers (niece)

The Berger Family October 27, 2009
We are so sorry for your loss. Your mom left this world knowing that she had accomplished all that she set out to do. She had a wonderful husband that she loved dearly. She raised 4 perfect children and taught them how to love, respect others, be successful, and watched as they had their own children and taught them all the same things she had bestowed in them. She was one of the most warm and loving people we had ever met. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Find peace in knowing that your dad has waited a very long time to hold her in his arms again, and that is where she is now...as they both watch over you and your families. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, John, Ro, Cristin, Kelli, and Ava

I remember her enjoying the Quails so much and her energy dancing for hours. We had a lot of fun, for many years!!!
