Comments:
Although I don't know you, I am Stan's half brother (Karl and Peter's uncle). I didn't know about Stan's passing, and now find out that Dottie has also passed. I haven't talked to Peter in probably 20 years, and only wish I had been able to see them sooner. It sounds like you really cared for Dottie, and I appreciate all that you did.
