Aunt Dorothy was the best! From her beautiful smile, always looking like a million dollars, her beautiful white hair, participating in church activities, cooking the most delicious food ...the list goes for ever. I remember Sunday picnics at Half Moon lake when she made the best potato salad! I enjoyed my visits to her apartment in Wyoming. Her eyes would light up when I'd bring jars of my canned goods like jams, peaches and pears etc. I never was able to make her pickles as good as hers. She gave me some crochet hangers that I use everyday. She was a devoted wife, mom, grandma, aunt, friend to all of us. As I grow old memories and remembering the great times of child hood are stories I share with my grandkids and Aunt Dorothy stories are a lot part of my stories. May the angels lead her to paradise. Rest in peace, Aunt Dorothy
