Dorothy was a loving sister, wife, mother, Grandmother, and aunt. I remember her families visits to Coopersdale where her mother and brother lived. I remember some painted glasses and plates she gave my mother. May Don, Patti and their respective families find comfort and peace knowing their mother is now in a place where this no pain or suffering. Yes, she was my aunt. God bless you all.
