    Mrs. Dorothy was a fine lady, a very hard worker who kept her home and yard in immaculate condition. She loved her family and kept up with my mother when she was alive. Together again with Mr. Bo. Life well lived, we love you and you will be missed.

    Dorothy Medlin was a special person, she always asked about David Pizzo [who had passed] whenever she spoke with Bo and Linda. She will be missed but is in heaven with her husband and daughter.
