I smile when I see her as it also reminds us of our Grandmother. Gram/Wilma thought the world of Dorothy/Dot. She was proud of her poetry and ability to doument the family history, among other things. She was always very nice to me , her soft spoken voice and patient, friendly personality is fondly remembered. Our best to you and your family. Linda
