  1. Beverley says:

    Dear Mr. Deeprose:

    I am saddened to learn of the passing of Dorothea. My thoughts flood back to the early friendship established between the Hill family and the Deeprose family, beginning over 70 years ago. You and Dorothea remained incredible friends to my late mother and father, Harry and Florence.

    I have been very blessed knowing you and I wish now to offer my sincere sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time.

    love Beverley Smith (nee Hill)

    What an honor to know such a beautiful lady! We will miss her cheerfulness, always wanting to know how you were doing. She was always “just great” herself and enjoyed praising her Lord mixed in with a little gardening. Looking forward to seeing you again Dorothea, ‘ when we all get to heaven! ‘ We will be remembering you Dave and family at this time.

  3. Joan McKinty says:

    On behalf of my sister, Fran Crook, I offer my deepest sympathy to Dave and the family of Dorothea. Dave and Dorothea were good friends to Fran over a lengthy period, and particularly when she lost her husband, Red. Fran suffers from dementia, but I know that if she were able, she would want to extend her sincere condolences.
