Joshua—I was so sorry to hear of your grandmother’s passing. I know you were very close. It is always painful to lose a loved one. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family and my hope that the passage of time will leave you all with only happy memories. Love, Aunt Sandra
I was so sorry to hear of Dorothy's passing. I met Dorothy and Ace around the mid 1970's. I can't remember the exact year. It was when Ace was working on re-doing highway 287. They rented a lot from my mom and dad and Dorothy and I became fast friends. She probably got tired of me being at her place after school but she never acted like it if she was. She was always so nice to me and so much fun. I remember the time she asked me to go to Walsenburg with her for the weekend. Not one to pass up a chance to go somewhere I probably said yes before I even asked anyone if I could. I'm not sure if I even knew where Walsenburg was at that time but that didn't matter to me. I just knew I was going somewhere with Dorothy. So off we went on highway 160. I do remember we went out to supper and had a good time. I also remember how beautifully she could play the accordion. I lost touch with Dorothy several years as time tends to do that. I re-connected with her a few years ago after I moved back to CO and would call her on occasion. My mom was diagnosed with dementia a couple years ago which required a lot of my time so didn't call Grandma Dorothy like I should have. Nonetheless, I thought of her often and know the world will not be the same without her. But, can you just imagine how much better heaven will be with her playing the accordion in heaven's choir.
