I have so many fond memories of family and friends at Pohocco Lutheran, and Dorothy and family are high among them. I can still see in my mind's eye the quilting ladies stitching together fantastic quilts and friendships in the church basement! Dorothy was a fine and gracious lady, and is well-remembered. My condolences to the family.
