Aunt Dorothy will be missed by many. When we would visit the farm on Moro Road she would let me help her gather the eggs and help bring the cows from the pasture to the barn for milking. Uncle Tud would let me help carry the milk pails to the milk building. When the twins were born I stayed with Uncle Tud and Aunt Dorothy on the farm and enjoyed every minute. Now they're together again.
