I am so saddened by the loss of Aunt Dorothy. She had a kind heart and gentle soul. She was the rock that grandma could turn to when grandpa passed away, and I will be forever grateful to her for being the one that Grandma could turn to for anything. There is nothing greater than a sister’s love.
I love you Aunt Dorothy and my heart aches at your loss.
