I love you, Grandma. I miss you so much. Love Always, Your Caseydoodle

Donna and I send our sympathy to Bob, Mark, Peggi, Carol, and all the grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Even more, we share some wonderful memories of many holiday meals together as we were growing up, and some joint family trips to Oak Glen for apple season.  Mark, Carol, Greg and I grew up like we were cousins.  Dorothy was always so gracious and fun-loving. When Donna's sister Peggi married Mark, we really did then become officially "family" with Dorothy and Bob, just like we always felt we were.

Our thoghts are with all of you during this difficult time~~

Pat and I would like to express our sorrow to the entire Witman family for the loss of Dorothy.  From Michigan to California and finally to Washington Bob and Dorothy have been my extended family and for the last 48 years, that of my wife Pat as well. Dorothy, your wonderful, caring personality will be missed by all of us but the legacy you left lives on in your kids,grandkids and those of us to whom you extended your love as well.  Thanks for all the years of love and memories.

From the time we dumped our two babies out of the sled into a snowdrift in the late 1940's, Dorothy and I became more than neighbors in Midland, Michigan.  We became fast friends. That feeling has never changed.

It was that year we started celebrating Dorothy & Bob's anniversary and my birthday together, a habit that continued on weekends into the 1990's.

Our family moved to Ontario, California in 1951 and during the next year, Bob was transferred to San Gabriel, California, less than an hour drive from us.  From that time on, for forty some years, we were "family" to each other on all major holidays, at one house or the other.  What good times we did have with their children and ours!

I replay those times in my mind many times as I think about Dorothy - and I always will - with Love.

Prayer coming your way. Debbie & Pat Sheehan

DJ wasn't my aunt, but I felt like she was. I always enjoyed the times I got to visit with her. She was a wonderful lady and she will be missed.

Dear Witman Family,
So sorry for such a great loss to all of you.  Peggi always talked highly of her mother-in-law.  Thoughts and prayers are with you during a sad time.

America's greatest generation.  I loved looking at the pictures.  May the memories bring you the comfort you need at this time.  God Bless,

                     Lynn Roberts

My Dear Aunt DJ, 
I think back often on those days in high school when I would stop at your house to get my bike, your smiling face would greet me. And then when I had a problem you would offer your words of wisdom and life was good again. And those times when I had a job near your house in Corona Del Mar I would pop in to visit you and Uncle Bob always offering lunch, or something. I will miss your hugs. Oh what wonderful memories you've given me- Thank You! 
Love you always,

Tom and Luz

How special I feel to be the first person to write in Mom's Guest Book.  What an honor to have known her for years, and an even bigger honor to have been blessed to be her daughter-in-law.  Dorothy was an amazingly loving and gracious woman and a wonderful role model.  We miss you so much already, but you will live on in our hearts and memories.  I will continue to take care of your son, Mom, and look out for Dad, too.  Thanks for all that you gave of yourself to the entire Witman 'family'.  Your spirit will live on...
