We will all miss you Dorothy. (I think I always called her Dorothy, not Dot, except when I was very little and could not say ‘Dorothy’ very well). I was blessed to be able to visit in September and again a couple of months ago, but when I was far away in Massachusetts, I prayed for her every day.
Helen, I am so sorry about Dot. She was a very loving and sweet lady. She will be missed. My prayers are with the family.
