Dorothy loved her family.  She enjoyed having them around, the more that was around the better for her.  She loved cooking, camping, fishing, and hunting.  She was Mamaw to so many of her nieces & nephews and if you stayed at Mamaw’s house and you wanted ice cream for breakfast, you got it.  She loved everybody and you knew it.  She had a temper to match. 

There is not enough words to use to describe mom.  She was one in a million.  She was and always will be our everything.
