I remember, with fondness, the many times Dorothy and I sat across the table from each other playing bridge, laughing, having fun and , many times”winning! We also competed, when we were younger, on the golf course at Youche. There were lots of times she and Roger and Denny and I would get together for numerous activities. I was fortunate to see Dorothy in the months before she passed when she was still” spunky” and her old self. I know that she and Roger are now together in Heaven playing bridge and having fun.

Dorothy put so many smiles on my face as I got to know her at Bickford Senior Living. Often, she would be in her apartment when I would come to clean so we had many candid conversations, many of which she talked about her family and how much she loved them! I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
