I moved to the Elms a year ago and Dorothy was one of the first residents I met. Every time I joined the Lunch Bunch on the bus she would talk so lovingly about her family and the wonderful birthday celebration she just had for her 83rd birthday. She especially enjoyed talking about camping and how much she loved that family togetherness. I didn't know Dorothy well but know that I will miss her deeply. Always upbeat and always with a bit of a twinkle in her eye - she did have the Joy Joy Joy deep in her heart and never hesitated to share that with all she came in contact with. May God bless you all in this time of great loss
