Mrs. Bohannon was a teriffic neighbor. When my mother (died 2008) was alive she and Mrs. Bohannon were great neighbors. Since then she was a great neighbor to me and Cullen. We will miss her in our neighborhood.

Dorothy was like a mother to us. She always remembered our birthdays and would make Clancy his favorite oatmeal cookies. She was ready to leave this sinful earth and rest in the arms of Jesus. We will miss her greatly.
