Barb and Judy, I am sad to hear of Aunt Dorothy's passing. She was a great inspiration to us nieces. She enjoyed life and lived each moment to the fullest. I'm sorry that I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her, but what time I did was very special to me. I'm sad that I am so far away and couldn't be there to say goodbye and pay my respect.
She was there for me when I lost my parents and only brother. I will forever be grateful. My family and I will pray for you and the family as you adjust to your loss. Aunt Dorothy left behind a great legacy in her children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. She was very proud of you all. With Love to you all and God's blessings.
