My boys, Mom and Dad had so many good times at Robert and Dorothy's. After Mom passed and Dad got sick I lost touch with Dorothy. I stumbled on her obituary doing some geneology work. Wow, 102, what a long loving life. Fly high Dorothy, hope to see you again.❤

I will always remember Grannie at church, dressed to the "nines" with Bobby on his knees talking to her. She so looked forward to his attention. We all loved her so!

She was a beautiful lady and I loved sharing her birthday with her. I know she is having a wonderful time with daddy and Uncle Robert playing their music. She was a ray of sunshine every where she was. Loved Aunt Dorothy very much.
