We, the family of Taylor R. Dorsey, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our friends of this valley who have brought comfort to us during this most tragic of times.

The delicious food delivered, beautiful floral arrangements, thoughtful cards and prayers have been so greatly appreciated.

Thank you to the Holiday Inn Express of Silt who helped with out of town guests, Miner’s Claim Restaurant for catering, Cactus Valley Elementary School staff members who helped with Taylor’s memorial service arrangements, the entire staff at Riverside Middle School, and our friend, Doc, who was a guiding light through our darkest of times.

Thank you, Katherine Palmer for establishing the Taylor Dorsey Memorial Fund at Alpine Bank. The donations from this fund will help establish a music scholarship in Taylor’s name.

Your continued support will be a great gift to us as we travel the long journey ahead.

The families of Joe and Gene Diaz would like to give a big thank you to our families, friends and all who made our combined birthday party so enjoyable.

The families that came from Kansas, Washington, Arizona and, of course, our families from around New Castle, Glenwood, Silt, Rifle and Mack, Colo., for the cards and pot luck, and to Marie George of the Senior Center in Rifle.

Thank you all and may God bless all.
