Dorothy was my second cousin...first cousin to my mother Ruby. The two of them were as close as sisters being they were raised together. That deep friendship was passed to me and Dorothy and I were very close. We liked to chat on the phone for hours about family...health...our past.
I am in the midst of writing my autobiography. Dorothy was very instrumental in filling in the blanks where I needed answers to finish a subject. I rfer to her as my last 'real' relative and shall miss her more than I can bare.
I know she and Mel and together again and she and my Mom and Dad will soon be enjoying their cards games.
I love you sweet cousin...

My thought and prayers are with Dotty's family. I was one of the physical therapist at Sunny View Care Center. It was always fun to work with Dot, she was always giving us a hard time and joking around with us. She was a pleasure to work with and I'm glad that I got the experience, she always made me laugh.
