Such a sweet lady. Made me try butter beans one time though. I didn’t like them. She asked me why not and I said, “they taste like dirt”. She said, “that doesn’t say much for my cooking!” Then just laughed and walked back into the kitchen. What a wonderful, wonderful lady. Rest well in the arms of God, Dorothy.
Prayers for all the family, Aunt Dorothy will be missed and remembered always.
So sorry for your loss, Aunt Dorothy was a wonderful person.

Ellen and Amanda,

To Rose, Ellen, Rex, Roy and Gene,
My heart goes out to all of you! I have such fond childhood memories of our families being together. I was just wondering some time back how your mom was doing. I would certainly be with you all today if I could. We have moved to Arkansas, and my husband has acute cerebellum ataxia which makes it very difficult if not almost impossible to travel. I always remember your mom having a smile on her face! Love and prayers, Deloris
