My sincere sympathy to Dave, his children, their families and the extended family. What a pleasure it was to get to know some of the Renner family while I was in Adams County. I’m sure Dorothy will be missed at the annual summer fishing trip and holiday gatherings at the town hall as well as each and every day. Cherish the memories of living, laughing, loving and playing.

No more pain and suffering, just Angels in heaven to welcome you.Darlene.

My sincere sympathy to Dorothy’s family.How fortunate you all were to have had her in your lives. Dave, I remember singing at your wedding 45 years ago…where has the time gone! I’m so glad you had all those years together. May God bless your memories.
I’m sure God needed another angel. Our family gatherings will not be the same without her. I always looked forward to her company. She had so much patience explaining the boardgames to me or to anyone that needed the extra help. We will miss all of the laughter we have shared, all of the "new" recipes she shared with us. We thought we had more time to go on that special vacation with her and the family. Dorothy was the very best. I hope she is looking down on us and can see how much she is loved. She has left a goodness on this earth that we will have in our hearts forever.
My sympathy goes to you in this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this time while you long for the health of your wife, Mom, Grandma, sister once again. I am sending my love to you.
