"Along with Keith, we could write a book about all the great travel memories, telephone calls, visits...Dorothy will remain in our hearts and tales with all the great adventures in Asia, New Zealand, Germany etc. plus our visit to FL and Dorothy and Robert's visit to the "Hudson Valley" and our stay in NYC. We were so lucky and honored to share some of Dorothy 's long time on Earth. I hope she's continuing to experience wonder adventures on "the other side"...Much love..."
"While dining with us in a restaurant to celebrate your 96th birthday, you were asked by the owner as to what you would advise for others as to such longevity.
