Aunt Dorothy was one of the best people I ever knew. She was funny, loving, and very caring. She taught me a lot about cooking and gardening when I was newly married. We had fun baking cookies, doing crafts and making Christmas ornaments. She and Merle lived close to us, and we were always made to feel welcome there. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel, and has left all of those who knew and loved her with many happy memories. I'm a better person for having known her. I will always love you, Aunt Dot. Linda
