So sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. I always enjoyed their acquaintance. The summer I worked for them at the farm and on the road was my first hand-on full time experience with elephants. I will treasure it always. She and Paul were wonderful and always welcomed me whenever I visited. Rest in Peace. Say hello to Paul for me. I'm sure they and my dad are having a great time "cutting 'em up".

To Eddie, and children of Dot - My family was saddened to hear of Dot's passing. Over the years we spent a lot of time with Paul, Dot, and Eddie; both on shows and at their home in Peru. We have always valued that time and the memories generated from them. It was a privilege to know them, work with them, and spend "friendlship" time with them. What a loss to Circus! The Family of Don Philips Carol, Diana, and Athena

When ever I drive by the old farm and think of my time there as a child. When I was there Dorothy was more like my mom than a family friend. Thank you all it was such a great time if only there was a way to trun the clock back when we all played in the creek on a hot summers day. Thank you thank you all.

Friends and Family of Mrs. Kelly, My condolences to all of you. While I never got to physically meet Mrs. Kelly, I have been inspired by her life story...I wish I had heard all of her stories to write them down--what an amazing life! She is a true legend and a wonderful model to many. May she rest in peace-I am sure her family, circus family, and her animals are all celebrating with her right now.
