Dorothy was always there with a big smile and a hug every time I attended a family function. And, on several occasions, my mother had a chance to bond with Dorothy, too. I know she will be greatly missed by all. But, I have faith that she is in a much happier place, finally. Love to Linda, Sandy, Gina, Angie, Tony and all the family. Wish I could be there.
