DOROTHY WAS MY BABY SISTER, I AM 14 YEARS OLDER THAN SHE WAS, THIS WASN.'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, AREN'T THE OLD FOLKS SUPPOSED TO GO FIRST? DAD WANTED TO NAME HER APRIL BUT MOTHER SAID NO, WE HAD ENOUGH OF THOSE NAMES, I AM MAY AND MY OTHER SISTER IS JUNE AND OUR DAD WAS AUGUST. SO SHE WAS NAMED AFTER OUR NORWEGIAN GRANDMOTHER, WHOSE NAME ACTUALLY WAS DORTHEA. A.FTER MOTHER DIED I WANTED DOROTHY TO LIVE WITH ME AND MY FAMILY IN LA CROSSE BUT DAD HAD OTHER IDEAS.
AND SO NOW WE ARE ALL SADDENED BY THE LOSS OF A BRIGHT LIGHT IN OUR WORLD.
MAY GOD BLESS AND COMFORT US ALL.
