To Dorothy's family: You don't know me but Dorothy and my mom were friends for many years. Mom called Dorothy every January to wish her a happy birthday! My parents are both dead and I doubt
any one of you would remember or know their names......Kenneth
and Rita Stimer....but I remember Dorothy very well and even flew
on the same plane when she went to Vegas about 3/4 years ago....
Please accept my heartfelt sorrow for your loss. Janice Allen
