Dad and Laura told us of her sudden passing. We wish to send our heartfelt condolences to the entire Braid family. Our thoughts are with you.
When I lived in Seattle, thousands of miles away from my own mom, Mrs. Braid filled a great void for me. She was fun to be with and I felt like a member of the family. Julie is one of my best friends in the world and my love goes out to her and the entire Braid family.
Big hugs and kisses,
Amy
Although I never met Mrs. Braid, I know how intensely she was loved by Julie.
Jules, my heart goes out to you and your family during this very difficult time. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Lots of love,
Brigette, Marc, Easton and Emery
Though I didn’t know her well, I remember her as a gracious, kind neighbor who was willing to help out when I needed help with a neighborhood project. I’ll always think of her when my rhodie tree blooms because she loved it too. Condolences to the family. We miss your presence in Shorewood.
I first met Dorothy over the bridge table shortly after the Braids moved from New Mexico. Not only was she a good bridge player, she was a good friend, a good cook, and good mother. The world around her was of interest and she viewed life with common sense and humor. I will miss being able to pick up the phone for a Dorothy conversation. Now I will have to communicate with a best friend in another way.
I am so sorry to hear about Dorothy. She surely will be missed by you, Don, and your family, as well as many friends. It was always fun to help plan your travel.
We remember Dorothy as a very friendly person, a great maker of chocolate goodies and very kind.
Much love from Laura & Phil
Our family sends our condolences and much love to Don Braid and family members.
Our family sends our deepest sympathy and condolences to the enitre Braid Family. Dorothy was a sweet lady and will be missed by everybody
Some of my best memories as a kid were when my mom would take us over to the Braids. Mrs. Braid always made sure we had something fun to do to keep us occupied or to keep us out of trouble!.
Then when I visited later with my own children she brought out all the old toys for them to play with making sure they too had fun. Dorthy was always so thoughtful and kind.
We will all miss her.
Love,
Polly
