I was fortunate to have my three children's portraits done by Mrs. Mann. She was so wonderful as she photograghed and told stories to my children. I remember as she was doing my youngest son, she informed me she loved children barefoot, so she did a full portrait with of him in barefeet! Our whole family continues to enjoy the portraits, and we will always remember Mrs.Mann. She was a very special person. Her family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Judith Harvell

I had the pleasure of meeting Dorothy when she called the Animal Welfare League to request someone come to her home to pick up donations she wanted us to have to help the animals. What a delightful, whitty, 'young' woman. Dorothy recently called me again to come pick up some more donations, but they were not quite ready and she would call me. I never heard back. That was only two weeks ago. I am so sadden by her passing and sadden for the family. I was so looking forward to seeing her again.
In friendship,
Judy Harvell, President
Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck
