So sad to learn of Dorothy passing. Wishing comfort for the family during this time of sorrow. Spent a lot of time with both Dorothy and Ted square dancing. Dorothy served as an officer in the association and did a great job. Lots of great memories. Hopefully your memories will bring you peace in the days ahead. Prayer for the family.
