My condolences to the Girard family. It is never easy to lose one's mother, no matter the years. So may you find comfort in knowing that a mother's love is forever with you. Know that she will continue to smiles on your face each time you think of the fine memories you've made together as a family. In God's loving care Dorothy now rests. John 5:28,29; Psalms 37:29
