Passed away peacefully on July 18, 2011 at 79 years of age. Beloved wife of the late Sylvio (1985). Pre-deceased by parents Frank and Gertrude Eppert and brother Frank. Dear mother of Denise of Orillia, Anne and Rob Brunelle, Marybeth and Brian Bacon, Mike and Jane Donais. Also survived by grandchildren Elizabeth, Gord, Brian, Kristyn, Michael, Allison and great grandmother of Joey and Emmah. Dorothy's wish, was that her death should not be a gathering for mourning and grieving. In respect of her wishes, we could not invite you to share in the sorrow of our tremendous loss. Please accept our apologies and our thanks for your sympathy.

Please don't grieve, Please don't weep. I have closed my eyes. But I am not asleep. God chose me to come home, so through his garden, I may roam. When you think of me, Please don't cry, for in your heart, I will never die.

Thank you to Riverside Place for the great care and compassion and a special thank you to Mom's angels Jessie and Wendy. As your expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Kidney Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Association.

At the request of Mrs. Donais, a family funeral service was held at Families First 3260 Dougall Ave. South Windsor, 519-969-5841, followed by cremation.
