www.westgorfuneralhomes.comYou & dad are together again & I find comfort in that I will have 2 angels looking after us.I will miss our special times together but you will always be in my heart.Your great grandchildren were so lucky to have spent time with you & the love that you showed them will live with them forever. Love Always,Peggy Mom - thank you for all your unconditional love and support, you always told us how proud you and dad were of us. After Dad passed away, our Saturday mornings of walks, going to the store or just a drive before going out for breakfast was special. Our teasing you and not always telling you where we were going or what we were going to do, was one of the many ways we showed our love. The numerous family and Holiday "get-togethers" will not be the same, but we are comforted that you and dad are rejoined. Forever in our hearts and thoughts.Tom
You can to the family or in memory of Dorothy Breaker.
