   As a neighbor boy that grew up with the Derick family .I have many Memories. See Lloyd n l Allen was always up there to play with Pete and Fred as neighbor boys ,As a crow flys it was just a hop and a skip for us. And the trouble that 4 boys can n did get into .It all started with they had the biggest barn with hay and a rope swing it, And days went by in that Barn, I also remember Pete very well as he gave me my first beer WARM right next to the wood stove that was also on .' Let me tell you  at that age it only took one and it was a long walk home that day.We boys all grew up all the way threw high school so , Dorthy was always there to supervise us boys the best she could ''Understandable'' But there was always a treat for us some were along the way,Later in life yes she was very much into the poker games ,You got chewed out if you forgot to invite her .'''And yes l remember You Ann as well being the only girl st the time ''Of course she got picked on '''' Those were days wern't they.
          Yes Dorthy was a wonderful Person and lots of Memories, She will be missed and thought of often. In Loving Memory

Some 40+ years ago, I worked with Dorothy in the banquet department, Holiday Inn Downtown.  Dorothy was always kind, happy and more than helpful.  I enjoyed her sunny disposition, admired her love of family, and her dedication to all of her Byron friends who worked with us.  Many fond memories.  You have my deepest sympathies.  God bless...

My mom was the best!!  I don't care what anybody thinks!!  She would help anything for anybody out, back in her good days!! I' am pretty sure that there are a few people out there that could use a Thank you to my mom, whether it was to help you with your gas, or cigs, or tobacco.  She helped as many people as she could, there wasn't anybody she wouldn't help out!!!! And all of you guys that got to say that they played poker at Dorothy"s kitchen table, should be happy that they got to play with the best woman around!!
She made many friends around the poker table, and I hope you made many friends yourself!!! 
There a lot of Thank you's  that I would like to give out, I 'am not going to name, name's, so I hope you know who you are.  Thank you to all of the people I couldn't talk to, or see. But a great big THANK YOU to all of the people that made my mom's life great!!!!!From D&D, to KJ"S, to the poker table.  THANK YOU for making my mom's life GREAT!!!!!
 
THANK YOU.
