A Moment to Pause, Reflect and Say Thanks

Thanks to everyone who left messages regarding my grandmother's passing on February 9th. My family and I really appreciate this outpouring of support. Dee Dee was a wonderful woman - I wish all of you could have had the chance to have met her, she was a tough little lady and she always looked absolutely stunning.
Her funeral will be March 4th at Arlington National Cemetery where she'll finally be reunited with my grandfather, who passed away May 16, 1976. Here is the Obituary as it was printed in The Capital:

Dorothy Borcz

Dorothy Sternheim Borcz, "Dee", 85, a resident of Crofton and previously of Anne Arundel County for 60 years, died February 9 at Anne Arundel Medical Center.

She was born Feb. 22, 1925, in New York, N.Y. Dee spent 40 years working in retail and 17 years working in real estate.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry J. Borcz, whom she

married Jan. 10, 1945 and who died May 16, 1976.

She is survived by three children, Bruce J. Borcz and wife Sharon of Millersville, Keith R. Borcz and wife Joyce of Illinois, and Toni M. Borcz of Crofton; four grandchildren, Alexander, Adam and Kyle Borcz, and Sarah Borcz Renje; and great-grandson, Ian Borcz.

Visitation will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, February 16 at John M. Taylor Funeral Home, Inc., 147 Duke of Gloucester St., Annapolis. Funeral services and interment will be private at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the SPCA of Anne Arundel County, 1815 Bay Ridge Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21403.

Love you, Dee Dee - the world is a little less fabulous without you in it.
