We apologize for not naming her many close friends because there are simply too many. She made “new” friends wherever she went in addition to becoming close to her niece’s and nephew’s friends!
Jim used to say, courting Dorothy was like reading a Russian novel. She had so many friends and relatives that ne needed a chart to keep track of who all these people were.
