"Dorothy was always a favorite person of mine! I remember always stopping at the bank when I was younger to see her. I remember many hours at the house, with my mom, and visiting. In later years I loved to sit and listen to her tell stories of when we were little and things she and Bob and mom did together. I know she was a great support to mom. I pray that you all will find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering and is in a much better place. May you find peace within as you remember so many good things about Dorothy!"
