I would like to pass on my condolences to Aunt Dorothy's family. Even though we lived hundreds of miles apart, I enjoyed visiting with her whenever she came to visit family. Losing a family member, especially a mom, is always very difficult and I hope you can take solace that she is now with Jim. - Posted by: Lynn Ritzen (Aunt) on: Jul 24, 2022

So many fond memories, and I can conjure her voice in my mind any time, which is so nice. One memory that comes to mind is walking around downtown Calgary with Aunt Dorothy and my Mom, for who knows why. That's when I got my cowboy hat, which did me proud in my time in Texas. Still have that hat and the memories. Wishing comfort to her whole family. - Posted by: Bruce Ritzen (Nephew) on: Jul 23, 2022
