I'm so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. Fifty-four years ago this July, when she was a teenager, she acted as child aide to help my mother, Virgina and Aunt Evelyn make the road trip from Detroit, where I had been born, to International Falls, Minnesota, where I was to live. This was my first journey and she was my first babysitter. I'm sure she was a fine one. I remember visiting her family in Grand Rapids in 1968 when she had become a glamorous grown-up and was so full of life. She was beautiful, fun and kind. When she moved out to Colorado Springs in the 70s, she invited us to come to visit her. She was so happy and proud of her new town, her home and her new family. I hope that whatever hardships came her way, she retained some of that joy in life. Godspeed Dorothy. We are the lesser for your loss. Cousin Eva
