Hi Thomas,
I am so sorry for the lost of your mother and dad also. I haven’t seen you in some years but I worked at NAPA for many years with you and your family. I will never forget the kindness that your family expressed to me. May God give you peace with your special lost.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Dorothy was a wonderful Bush Library volunteer and unselfishly used her skills to recreated Mrs. Bush’s wedding dress for the permanent exhibit because we would not exhibit the original. Her re-creation remains in the exhibit to this day. May she rest in peace.
