My condolences to the family of Ms. Dorothy Lipscomb. I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy for 15 years in the HISD Food Services Department. Throughout many conversations we came to know her family and we know that all her children and grandchildren were truly loved. Just know that you love her but God loves her best.
