It is with great sadness that we must restrict the number of family members able to participate in the funeral service for Dorothy to 10 people. We realize that this has hurt feelings and disappointed many of those that love her. We are truly sorry for these restrictions. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery, Calumet City, Illinois. Hack-Jensen funeral home is handling the arrangements.
