Dorothy was a sweet roommate to Mom (Mary) at the home. She was very thankful for fresh hot coffee when we visited and loved her sweets before the meal :) You will be missed ~ rest in peace Dorothy.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. She lived a good long life and will be with her God now. I remember her well from the years on Kline Ave when we (Elaine and I) were in high school. She was a feisty lady! My thoughts are with you and your family.
