I have so many memories of Doretta. She was always "to the point" on any discussions, we all knew where we stood with her. I was luck to have had many years of Morgan Horse relationships with her. We did business back and forth and each of us got the better end of the deal. Doc and Mom and I loved her St Patrick's Day dinner. I had never had such incredible corned-beef and cabbage. She loved to entertain and had a beautiful collection of unique items for every occasion. Such an elegant true lady will be missed, thank goodness for all the memories she gave us.

So many memories with Doretta, antiquing, horses, love of family. I will miss seeing her, talking with her and, most of all, her sharp wit! Hope you are playing euchre in heaven with mom and Leroy!
