I knew Dorothy and Andy years ago. Dorothy was a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with Dorothy’s family and friends. A classy woman has gone to be with her husband.
Dorothy was a wonderful friend to our family. She grew up with my Mother in Coffeyville, KS and they both attended KU together and were members of Chi Omega sorority. I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to Judy. Judy, she was just the best! You were so lucky to have had her for a mother for so long. Blessings to you and your family.
