    I am so sorry, Dorian, about the passing of your mother.  Your love for her has shown through everything you write.  She sounds like she was a marvelous person who has been missed these past two years and will be missed even more now.  My sympathy to your father and brother, also.  Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you.

    Dorian,
    I read your mother's obituary in the Midland newspaper this morning and want to tell you how sorry I am. 
    I used to go into Leggett's Fabrics all the time and loved the store. Your mother helped me when I ordered the fabric and lace for my wedding dress.
    And, Dorian, I remember when you were the summer intern at the Midland Reporter-Telegram and I was the assistant city editor. You already were a talented writer and I enjoyed your bubbly personality. 
    I pray that God will help you, your dad and brother through this time. My parents are both still living, and I know this caretaker role is coming.
