Dear Bruce and Family,
It is with great sadness to hear of Dodie’s passing. I will always remember her laughter and kindness during the many times our families spent together. I will reference a childhood comment of mine that Bruce would always jokingly remind me of through the years. “Are you guys Aunts and Uncles or just friends?” To me Dodie was much more than “just friends”
