We are very sorry to learn of Dorie's passing and wish to convey our condolences to the family. We were away at her time of passing and just learned this week about it from family in Whitemouth. - Posted by: Vivian & Melvin Oswald, Neepawa (Dorie's cousin) on: Sep 12, 2014

We came to know Dorie & Irvin through Darlene Beeskau when we lived in Pinawa. We enjoyed her quiet sense of humour, her love of people & her genuine interest in others. When her cancer was diagnosed she accepted it with a positive attitude & a fighting spirit. She had a large group of people who were "cheering her on." We feel privileged to have known her. She will be missed. - Posted by: Moe & Merle Stepaniuk (friends) on: Aug 28, 2014

My sincere condolences to the family. I did not know Dorothy, but I know what it means to lose a parent. Be assured that the Lord walks with you in this difficult time, and that your mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, etc. is in good hands! - Posted by: Gilberte Proteau (friend of Kathy (Gary)) on: Aug 27, 2014
