I am so sorry that I am just now (February. 13, 2025) learning of Dorothy's passing. She and I enjoyed many hours of conversation and sharing time together during our dinners at the Cracker Barrel in Cedar Bluff. She was always so pleasant and cheerful even when she would be under the weather.
May she rest in peace with God.

Sincerely, Bill Lauer
