I have so many wondeful memories of Dorothy that I will cherish forever going back so far it’s almost a lifetime ago. She was one of kind and the mold was broken after she was created. A selfless heart of gold and smile and laugh I never forget. I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to have known her in my earthly lifetime, and have words of wisdom given in a style that only she could possess, ☺️, that I have and will forever hold dear to my heart. God bless you, her family, with peace and comfort at this time. You were her blessings.
