I have fond memories of my Aunt Dorothy during the late 1940s and early 1950s. She and Uncle Rex were very kind to my family when we spent Thanksgiving with them while my father was stationed in the Phillipines. We had fun visiting them in their big, old house in Toole. My condolences go to their children at this sad but inevitable time of grief.

I have good memories of Aunt Dorothy for the short time I was fortunate to spent with her. Cherish her memories.
