October 20, 2020 at 6:29 pmI used to do clothing alterations for Dorothy not too long after they came back from California. She was always kind and full of grace. She is a cousin to my mother-in-law, Lenore Nelson, and I enjoyed listening to their stories about when they were growing up and how much fun they had together. George would always drive her to my house and wait for her — they were always together. I know she missed him so much after he passed and I’m glad they can be together again. Much love and prayers to the family.
