I've known Dorothy for 16 years, I did most of her handy work around the home when she needed help. She had such a great love for her family, she was a very kind and generous woman. She loved life to the fullest. We had many conversations across her dining room table, she always like to make me take a break and eat some of her home made soup or a sandwich. When Jennifer and I had Hannah, she loved to send home with me- stuffed animals or something fun Hannah might like to play with that she had around the house. She had such a deep love for her daughters, her son whom she missed so much, and she loved and adored her husband Andy. She fought for her independence all the way up to the very end. She was a fighter, a go getter. She was one of the most positive people I've ever met, she lived a life of passion. My wife Jennifer and I truly loved her like family. She will be missed so much. I know this, she is reunited with her husband and son, resting in the presence of God, and one day....we will see her again. We send Blessings to her family.
