I did not know Dorothy, but I heard about her often from her nephew David Wood. In the time I’ve know David, I saw a selfless devotion to family. He made sure she was well taken care of, took her for outings and spent time with her, and made sure she never spent holidays alone. She was lucky to have had him in her life, and I’m sure she knew that.
