Dorothy, Nana, as we knew her, was a great influence in the lives of our grandchildren, Riley and Reece, and we consider that a wonderful blessing.
Aunt Dorothy looked over me ever summer in the early 1950’s while I visited with my cousins in Houston and Dickinson. She was one of the kindest people I have ever known and put up with my bratty ways more than most. I believe she is the last of my mother’s family generation to pass away and it leaves a void that is hard to accept.
