I always enjoyed visiting with Dorothy. She was a wonderful friend--so genuine, friendly and down to earth. My sympathy goes to her family. Losing two parents in such a short time period will be especially hard. Wishing you peace and comfort.

So sorry for your loss. I have lost a wonderful friend. Loved to visit with her at church, she was a delight to be around, putting on a brave face through ailments. She was much loved by all that knew her.
