Dorla Gay Baker was my Aunt and she is missed very much. She was my mothers older sister. I remember many of the good times that we had when our family would vacation to the Green Bay area to visit with Dorla and her family. In later years I would see her occasionally after she moved down to Delaware to be near her sons and daughter that had moved there previously. I remember her taking care of her own mother when Grandma was up in her late years. She also took care of her sister Beverly when she got ill. Aunt Dorla was a good person and she leave behind a great legacy. She will never be forgotten and I know that she is now in a better place and is no longer suffering from her ills. We all miss her very much.
Love Always,
Your Nephew Kenny
