Dorothy was loved for her thoughtfulness in recalling birthdays and special events. Grandma's House was a favorite place

to visit, as she was always prepared with treats. You were always greeted with warm hugs, smile, a story about Grandpa

and Grandma and her famous chocolate chip cookies. She was loved by all of her quiet and friendly manner and lived

her life showing us all how to be a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
