Dear family, I was saddened to hear about Dorothy's death. I can still hear her voice in my head from the last time we spoke. May we remember her always with the love and respect she deserved. May she be a "behter"for those she loved. Rest in peace, Dorthy.

Dear Fran and Mel. Myra and I were sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Dorothy was a great lady and an excellent cook, clearly demonstrated at the seders to which we were invited. Her stately demeanour and lovely smile will reside in our memory forever.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You were very fortunate to have her for the length of time that you did and enjoy her sweet smile for so long. She will now be with her beloved Saul and daughter Zeana to hopefully share only happiness with them from now on.

Dear David and Cheryl, Fran and Mel, We were so very saddend to learn that your dear Dorothy had passed away. Words are inadequate to express our sincere condolences . We have so many fond memories of our parents getting together in our home in Montreal and later having the occasion to visit Dorothy in Toronto with our mother Rose Melnick. Dorothy was a true Balabusta, talented in so many ways, especially her cooking and sewing, but most of all she exemplified the meaning of a true LADY! Our hearts go out to you on your great loss. May all of your memories of this truly wonderful and elegant Lady get you through this most difficult time in your lives. We wish you much strength and love. Susan Silverman Pam and Harold Garfinkle
