DOROTHY was a kind and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was loved by all who knew her. She will live on as long as those who knew and appreciated her hold the love of her in their hearts. "I thank her for all she gave and did for me" was Janet's comment. "How blessed I was to have her as my mother."
