To the Heywood and Brintnell families:
I have many fond memories of Dorothy from long ago! We grew up together in Exeter attending the summer playgound, playing softball, going to teentown dances and many other activites. As we left our school days behind I was always most impressed that she married Don and took off for a life far away from Exeter. Back in those days it wasn’t done very much. Dorothy was a great friend, always laughing & joking around. I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to all her family. R.I.P. Dorothy

Kim, Darlene, Jo-Ann and family

My condolences on the loss of your Mom. Dorothy was a wonderful person.
As you know your Mom and my Mom were life long friends.

I saw Dorothy and Eleanor a few years ago when we met for breakfast in Exeter, your Mom gave me some old black and white photos of my mom and their friends from their younger, crazy, fun days. It was such a wonderful gift to receive.

Thinking of you, I hope the memories you shared provide some comfort and laughter.
