I am really gonna miss this special person i call my Grandma.  She never complained, never said a bad word to anyone , and had a really hard time saying no to family. When i would ask her if i could have or do something and she was not sure she would say " Go ask your Mother". I know i am very lucky to have her as long as i did but i still feel like it was short. I love you Grandma!

I was saddened to learn of Dorothy's passing.  I am an old friend of her grand daughter, Jennifer, and have had the pleasure of sharing smiles, laughter and memories with Dorothy over the years..  She was without a doubt a very special lady and my boys and I were blessed to have met her.  She will always be remember with fondness. May she rest peacefully in God's Love  Elmina Vinson & Fam
