Dear Billy, Tim, and Sue:

I am sorry to have missed a chance to wish you my personal condolences in person for your sweet mom. Yolanda had told me that she had died. Your mom was truly a kind and jovial person. She never failed to acknowledge us and was so kind to my mom. My mom is currently in an Alzheimer's unit in Elkhart. May Christ and Our Lady grace your days ahead with comfort to know she is with your sweet dad too! La Porte was a good place to grow up and Sacred Heart School was truly special! I am honored to know your family. Peace to you all!

Warmly in Christ,


Carmen (Cepeda) Watkins

I was Dorothy's aid for almost 4 yrs she would tell me stories about her and her family and I enjoyed those stories so much when you are a aid to someone for so many years you get close to them and their family I will be thinking of their family at this time Dorothy thanked me for taking such good care of her every night when I put her to bed I am going to miss that and she will be missed
