Growing up as Dorothy´s grand niece was such a blessed experience. She brought our family together every summer for games and food and fun. She sewed my mom´s wedding dress and all of our bridesmaids dresses. She was queen of the Winter Carnival and a class act always! I am happy that I have carried on through all of these years staying in contact with her and her daughters who I love so much. I´m sorry that you guys lost your mom and grandma, and happy she lived an excellent life.

I have such fond memories of Dorothy; watching her sew, wearing Halloween costumes made by her, playing cards what feels like every night for years, and many other wonderful memories. I will miss her and her beautiful spirit! Keeping all of you in my prayers
