I'am Her Daughter-in-Law of the past; We were very Young. Dorothy was ALWAYS there for us but one grows older to appreciate the people in your past and Dorothy was one of those people. In 2004 we visited her and she told me that She felt I was the Daughter She never had. Although We were not in the same State She was ALWAYS there for her grandkids., sending them stuff and included My youngest Son., Jamie as Well. She was a hard worker, funny, and took care of our babies as though they were her own. I cannot say enough for this Lady. Although it sounds like a Cliche, I'll always Love and Miss her. She WILL be greatly Missed.
