Our hearts go out to each of you as the tears flow freely for Dorthy’s passing. They don’t make them like her anymore. Her laughter, her kindness, and giving nature have always brought joy to everyone’s lives. We know you miss her terribly, and we miss her too. Those out of town trips that were so much fun. The day she helped move the old satellite dish across the yard. She had no idea how much we appreciated her as our neighbor and friend. We will continue to honor her memory. You are all in our prayers. You are not alone. We will be there for you if you need us for anything.
With all our Love,
Manard and Myra Criswell

Dion and Dorothy’s Family, I will miss her so much. She walked into the Senior Center, many years ago, and became a good friend of my Mom’s, Esther Kogele. We worked together for years at the 4 Corners Gas Station in Terry. She was the nicest person, great laugh, always smiling and helped every one. I will miss her. Myrna Kogele

I will never forget the times we spent at the hot tube in her and Jim’s house, our trip to Powderville , our walks and our many, many talks and her babysitting Pulcinella, while I was away . Dorothy had a heart of gold, and I will miss you so much . Dorothy, you were like a sister too me. You taught me so much and I am so grateful for that.

I have known Dorothy for many years, I have always had the upmost respect for her and truly enjoyed talking with her about everything. She was an amazingly kind person and from the first time you met her you knew she would be a friend for life. I will miss her and my thoughts are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Dorothy was such a wonderful lady and I so enjoyed seeing her at the liquor store when we came home to Miles City. She always had a smile and was a joy to visit with. May God watch over you and give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. God Bless,

When my mom, Esther Kogele, worked at the Senior Center, Dorothy would come in and help mom clean, voluntarily. Mom was 84 at the time and sure appreciated Dorothy’s helping hand, as moving furniture and pushing the vacuum were getting difficult for her. Dorothy and mom became good friends. Many the time Dorothy would join us for dinner. My mom loved her and sure missed her when she moved to Miles. She had a kind and giving spirit. My mom would often talk to her about Jesus and I know their hugging and laughing together once again and soon we will join them. Oh, what glory that will be!!! Joyce Wilcox

My mother, Helen S. Taylor (daughter of Harvey Taylor and Ruth Hanson), grew up on Cavitt Creek in Glide and was best friends with Donna Herriges. She talked about her many times. Donna and my mother had either the same or similar illnesses and Donna didn’t survive it. My mother never forgot her. When I was little in about 1963-4 we would go and visit Mrs. Herriges (my mother’s married name was Polley). This family was so precious to my mother – rest in peace Dorothy.
