So sorry for your loss. Dorothy was a great lady. Forgetting I was a cousin she we always ask can you go to grandma's and get me___ I would then say can't I just go next door to your mom's ? Grandma lives to far away. Our last visit was in July 2018 we had breakfast at IHOP. Rest high my sweet cousin much love.

This was the hardest ,sadest week of my entire life. Last Sunday mom was overwhelmed in respitory distress, and rushed to the hospice center. Due to the virus, only one visitor in room at a time. I want to thank everyone who sent Erica and I videos, or things to read to mom, or just texting me and mom your love. It was overwhelming at times. I will say the grounds outside were beautiful ,I walked them often when I needed breaks.Her room was like a suite(plenty of room for social distancing,just saying) and had 9 panel glass french wood doors overlooking the back grounds. I believe,as does the family that I shared the pics with, that all our animal visitors were Grandpa, grandma,Uncle Sam,etc in disguise. We had the Chipmunks who would crawl up the screen doors, the racoons that would look in at night and dusk, 2 wild turkeys ,one female one male(I think the male was Shawn's turkey reincarnated) and every bird you could think of come sit by her room. I have to thank the hospice nurses for the support,the care, the listening, the after 8oclock let Rick break the rules to go outside rule to smoke. They helped when Erica was not there. Oh Erica....you have been my rock and mom's since this cancer hit...no words can express the things you do and have done ,and are still doing now.literally sitting in the hospice parking lot in your car for hours and hours,updating Lisa,and just waiting to see if I needed you for a simple hug....or to watch mom so she wasn't alone while I finally hurried home for a much needed shower. You let her know her baby boy was going to be okay,kept out of trouble,and loved once she passed.I have no words to express your love. On May first,with her hand comforting me for first time since Sunday,while Ilisa and I shared fond memories of her, she snuck in her last breathe. As of yesterday, everyone has a new angel overlooking them,we called her mom,sissy,Baboo,dort,grandma poop,white grandma, sometimes even explicits,friend,best friend,aunt,ant,guide, please add to this list as you knew her best. The world is a sadder place with out here ,and I will miss just MOM.
