March 31, 2023 at 3:16 pmI had the privilege of meeting Dorothy (Dottie) when she needed help in her home beginning in the Spring of 2020.
We went from a Caregiver to client relationship to becoming good friends. We both enjoyed the Cardinal games, talking about family, and reading. We often traded books we thought that the other would enjoy. She was a bright spot in my work life. I will miss her dearly.

March 30, 2023 at 12:35 amChristmas and family celebrations will not be the same without her enthusiasm and contagious zest for life. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more giving sister-in-law. Heaven just gained a loyal Cardinals’ fan. Until we meet again, have fun!! Kaye
