Mom, I'm visiting Egypt now, so the Chinese food for your birthday isn't doable, but then you were always flexible about that.

I'm remembering how we did our birthdays, since mine was only three days later: I would give you $1,000 as a birthday gift, and then you would give me $1,000 as a birthday gift, and since we noticed we ended up even, we didn't bother to do the paperwork.

Another year passes, and it's your birthday without you. I'm about to stop being a woman in my 50s and start being a woman in my 60s - right on schedule, three days after your birthday. You would have been turning 85 today. I miss you so much.

I keep finding things I want so much to tell you, and news events I want so much to hear your opinion on. I miss you so very much.

We love and miss you always

Hey, mom -- we're still celebrating your birthday the same way you always celebrated it with us, by ordering in Chinese food. That'll be for the rest of our lives.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Dorothy.
She was a much-liked and respected member of an internet group that I founded. It is a clear indication of her sense of humour that she joined a group named ROF (Retired Old Farts) where she was an active participant in our weekly online Chat Session.
DL, as we knew her, brought so much to ROF...
We truly miss her...

i remember when Dorothy used to come to Meeting. Have really missed her in recent years. Holding you all in the Light through this difficult transition.
