We will miss her! Always enjoyed her sense of humor and the large Thanksgiving dinners.
Dorothy was like a second mother to me, she was always kind and accommodating. She helped me out in so many ways. She always had some kind of food in the kitchen, and it seemed that she took it as a personal insult if she offered you food and you didn’t accept it.
It made her happy to see you eat whatever she cooked. I often think of her.
I know that as long as I’m alive I’ll never forget her.
