Not sure what to say?





Dorothy always made you feel just like one of the kids. When ever is pulled a "Lucy" moment Vern would yell Oh! Dorothy! and she would turn and look at us kids and laugh her special laugh, and we would know everthing was going to be allright.

I am going to miss Grandma Dorothy. She has always been a rock of support across the street. You picked the best picture of her, smiling with the dog. Gosh I loved your mother. After 50 years of friendship, it's hard to imagine Idaho Street without her.
My love and heartfelt sympathies to you.

I truly loved your mom and grandmother. She was a great person and always so positive. As a kid, she and Vern were the two adults I just loved being around and will always cherish my memories of Aunt Dorothy.

I would recognize that smile anyplace. We were classmates at VHS. I was also friends with her late husband Vern. Dorothy was beautiful inside and out. Very popular, friendly and just plain nice. To her family please rest assured she made a positive impression on everyone who met her.

Wayne, Debbie,Kathy, and all your loved ones, Thanks again for sharing your acceptional mother with me for so many years. I always told your mother that if we were able to go to The Mom Store and pick our own mothers, I would of chosen her. She truly was the mom I always yearned for. Never judging and always giving her sane advice. She touched so many lives and will always be remembered in my heart. Good Bye my sweet mom, and save a place for me. All my love Suzi Baldwin
