A tribute to our dear sweet mother who lost her fight to cancer . . .

Our mother was always objective, never met a stranger, always had an open ear and door, was very creative, never judgmental, believed family was of the upmost importance, and there was a divine purpose in all of life's events.

We honor our mother, Dorothy, because of the indelible affect she had on each of our lives and many of the life's she affected of those in attendance today.

We honor our mother each day we greet the world with a smile and kindness backed by the lessons she has taught us.

When we are able to laugh at ourselves and learn from life's lessons.
We honor our mother by doing the right thing because it is the right thing.
We honor our mother when we instill the same values we were taught in our own children.
We honor our mother each time we seek God's word to cope or re-adjust to all the world may throw our way. We pay tribute to our mother each time we rally as a family in the
good times and bad. We honor our mother when we help those in need for this was truly the
essence of who she was. We WILL honor our mother by surviving and living our lives beyond
today because of her and in spite of cancer!

Our lives are the truest reflection of the absolute most important role Dorothy Fletcher ever held and it was MOTHER to Mary, Annette, Libby and Jeana -- because of you there is an "us."

When we feel as if we can't go on living without you, Mom, we will think of your advice and look into the eyes of our own children to gain the strength that you so often said that we as
your children gave to you.

We love you Mom and we will miss you more than words can ever convey. We
hope we do you "proud" as we continue our life's journey.

All Our Love!
Mary, Annette, Libby and Jeana

Happy 3rd Birthday Elijah!!!!


Elijah is our little Batman for sure! Grandma Plews sent Elijah a Batman costume which he INSISTED on wearing! He LOVES superheros and his favorite is Batman. Daddy is Superman and Mommy is Batman-woman. We had a Batman themed party at his school - imagine 12 SCREAMING kids full of sugar and loud music. Elijah had so much fun!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweetheart! We love you!!
