What a great Grandmother! You always looked after your “flock” of loved ones. You were always worried from time-to-time, but knew your children grew strong, smart, and supportive over each other. My sincere sympathy to my mother, Elizabeth, Aunt Millie, and Uncle Robert, Uncle James, Uncle Bill and Uncle Fred.
Liz and Mildred –
So sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincere condolences to every one who were blessed to have known her.
