    Maureen,
    Thank you for introducing me to your grandmother. One of my favourite memories of Dorothy was when I joined you and her for dinner and discussed a book afterwards. That night, I found her perspective on faith particularly interesting.
    I know you will miss her greatly.
    Take care,

    We are thinking of the McKeen and Carmichael families as you cherish memories of Dorothy. I fondly remember Dorothy from Sundays at Bethel. She was always so gracious, quiet-spoken and interested. Mom and Dad (Margaret and Ed Elston) enjoyed working on various church committees and projects with Dorothy and spoke highly of her work ethic and thoughtful approach. She readily responded to whatever was needed. What a wonderful, gentle lady. May you continue to feel her guidance in your daily lives.
