I have loved her stories of her life. She was so full of warmth, giving, compassion and forgiveness. May she continue to dance with her sweet heart and make us a place to share with her again.

I was just telling some friends what a wonderful 4-H leader I had. She was a wonderful lady and she always had some good stories about how I judged cows. Sorry I can’t be there for her memorial but I will be out of town. Praying for your comfort and peace during this time of loss. She will be missed. Love and Prayers, Carol

to the lady who just told us the other day that “the old rugged cross” was her favorite song.
so we sang and played it. and to the lady who sang it with us just the other day.
what a beautiful lady.
she will be so missed.

Aileen was not only my mother; I lost her as a very good friend, a very close neighbor, my church buddy, lost her lovely alto voice harmonizing with me, her endless stories. I will miss all the times of singing hymns for her – hours at a time, and she will no longer be there for me to just pop in for a few minutes on my way home from elsewhere. I will miss her.- See more at: http://www.legacy.com/guestbooks/bellinghamherald/aileen-dorothy-dunn-condolences/175937827?cid=full#sthash.EkmNla3i.dpuf
