Prayers for your family. Dorothy and Dallas were alway so sweet to me as a child.
My dad, Jimmy Corder, loved his Peaslee cousins so much. He arrived in heaven almost a year before Dorothy so he’ll be happy to welcome her there. Love and prayers for Betty and family.
Dorothy sat in our back yard and in a big wind watched the trees be blown and said those trees are fighting today ! Her imagination made us aware of a wonderful world in so many ways! She smiled, told stories, cooked and let us know she loved us always!
