I first met Dorothy when our homes were being built some 20 years ago. Her and Cris had a party inviting new residents. Blessings abound when I met my future husband at that wonderful event. We have traveled with them to Costa Rica, Italy and Fredericksburg Texas to name a few. Dorothy will be missed.
Chri, my condolences to you and your family. She was a wonderful lady and I’m glad I was able to know and work with her.
