To the Weller Family, sending heartfelt prayers for you as you endure the loss of an amazing woman, Mother, grandmother, aunt and indeed the heart and center of all of you. Her smile lit up every room she entered. I hope there are birds and flowers in heaven to surround her. "Remember her in your heart. Your thoughts and your memories. Of the times you loved, the times you cried. The times you fought, the times you laughed. For if you always think of her, She will never have gone."

Dear Weller family, We want to extend our deepest sympathy in the death of your dear mother and grandmother. She was so kind and sweet to everyone, and we are sure that she will be missed. Her Christian love was never more apparent to us than when she invited everyone to a dinner after we all petitioned Walker City regarding the land next to her. What stood out is that she also invited the very person who wanted to make the apartments there! As time goes on, all of our "Riverbend" parents are slowly leaving this world, but they will be in our hearts forever. We have been praying for you all. Sincerely, Bob and Kathy (Lambregtse) Knott

Heartfelt condolences to the family of a truly lovely and loving presence – Dorothy Weller. Dorothy possessed that marvelous gift of making one feel valued and special. It seemed she often down-played her own needs and achievements to hear of yours. We cherished our visits when she and Harry visited us in California or we visited them in GR. Dolores Wolffis -- in a previous entry -- wrote that her late husband, Don, “thought of Dorothy as a favorite cousin”. Indeed, in a large family we all did! In her Christmas card last December, she wrote: “Just want you to know all is well here and so very much enjoyed Jim's visit. I love to stay connected". I grieve I didn’t stay connected since then, and that I did not know of her declining health. I would like to have told her "good-bye" and leave her with thoughts of how beautiful a person I thought she was. I hope she knew! Know that I wish each family member strength and healing as you seek to adjust your lives in your mother/grandmother/great-grandmother’s absence. -Cousin Jim Cooper

I have such fond memories of your mom. She had a wonderful smile---thats how I picture her. She loved her family which was so obvious. She always took time to greet Bob and I and ask about our children. What a blessing for you to have had such a wonderful mom. Hoping she will meet up with Bob 😊 he would love that. You are all in my thoughts and prayers...your family has been and will always be a blessing to me. My sympathy to you and praising God for the hope we have in Christ.
