Dorothy was one of the most warm and loving, friendly and kind women I ever knew. She always made me feel welcome and comfortable whenever I was visiting her home. She felt like a 2nd mom to me. One of the things I will always remember is her sweet smile. She was a woman whose joy in her heart just glowed on her face! It was obvious she loved her family and they dearly loved her! She will always be remember and greatly missed.
