Our family extends our deepest sympathy to the Ryder family.
Dorothy and John were not only our neighbors, they were like family to us. They were people we could trust with our kids when ever needed someone. Some of our fondest memory’s are the special packages Dorothy put together with coloring books and cloths, for our kids at Halloween, and the stool John had made special for our kids (which we still have in our house today). As soon as Dorothy heard about our kid birth she was right over with gifts and to hold the new baby.
We will always remember the many friendly visits, she love to tell us about the dogs and the iguana. She always had an abundance of proud stories of her many grandchildren. Both Dorothy and John will be remembered.
