Aunt Dorothy was the sweetest! She had such a giving nature, patient and always kind. I was so fortunate to have grown up next door to her and her family. I will never forget summer days when my Mama and Aunt Dorothy would pack sandwiches and us cousins would pile into the back of her red truck and head for a day at Lake Geneva. So many fun times!
