Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
It is with love, my sons, Eric, Kevin, and Christopher Fortin, and I, Helen (Fortin) Probasco will remember their Grandmother Dorothy as the ‘beautiful’ person she was-‘inside and out’. Her recipes will always be the ‘favorites’ in our homes.
barbara & james im sure about your mom your mom good for you & your brothers & sisters too i will be here for you barb
I have the most wonderful memories of visiting grandma. From hide-and-seek in a huge 3 story house, to catching fire-flies at the park or walks with 3 legged Barney. We’ll miss grandma for now, knowing we’ll see her again in eternal life.
Dorthy was a Grand Lady, I am proud that I could call her Mom. She is at home with Herman now and I know they are both happy and peaceful.
