I never had the pleasure of meeting Dorothy, but she is my grandmother, her son Doug is my father. And, I only just now found that she passed away on the Internet. I would love if somebody would contact me, I feel so incredibly awful that I was never able to meet her as well as the rest of my family. Anybody, please contact me. Sara Viland

Dot was a good friend at Washington Meadows. I have replanted her rose bush and think of her often. Sorry to hear of her passing. JAN ENGLEHARDT
