My deepest condolences to the Sazama family. May you find comfort in Revelation 21:3 & 4, where God promises that He will soon eliminate suffering and death. May God grant you the ability to endure during this difficult time and may the fond memories of Dorothy comfort you and ease your pain.
Our thoughts and prayers go out you, Bill and family. She was such a fun gal . We were all together quite a few years ago. I was ready to go home. She said, “Really. I’m always afraid I’ll miss out on the fun so I never want to leave.” I thought….what a great attitude. I’d like to think of her spirit watching over all of you so she doesn’t miss out on the fun.
Dear Bill and Family, we are so sorry to hear about your loss. Dodie was a very special person, we are lucky that we got to know her. Please know that we are thinking of you in this tough time. Love, Susi and Markus
