Aunt Dorothy was a very special lady, always thinking of other people. I believed she was my grandmother when I was little. She will always hold a special place in my heart, as well as Uncle Henry. We are thinking of you at this difficult time. May God bring you comfort in this time of sorrow. Love, Tim, Christine, Sydney and Ryan Sticha
