Our Mom Evelyn Combs shared a room at Heritage Health with Dorothy and became instant friends, watching out for each other until Mom passed away in 2012. My sister and I became attached to Dorothy during that time and even after Mom's passing. We always teased her that she now acquired 2 "adopted" daughters and we loved her as such. She always smiled at that. Dorothy was a gem and we will surely miss her. Our condolences go out to her family. Sue Brawner and Janet Reddecliff (Evelyn's daughters)
